Changing DRK to DPS entirely?

[Giantbane]

WAR/WAR
- no int debuff(lack of monk will bite you here), as a main tank in a similar situation to ramuh has more effective mitigation than a WAR WAR, yes this including if every shockstrike gets inner beasted because the DRK will be sitting on 40-50% mitigation on all of them. Raw intuition gets rendered useless and thrill of battle as a defensive GCD is laughable, it's just a free cure in the grand scheme of things. While thrill of battle can give you the HP to survive an attack it doesn't help with effective mitigation and became worse with lustrate not getting a cure boost from it anymore.

Storm's path is stronger than both the PLD Str debuff and the DRK/MNK int debuff, and it decreases both physical & magic damage. I'm actually very surprised they haven't brought this debuff to other classes as it's so strong for progression fights. Pretty much guarantees that you should bring a WAR in any situation where boss damage is a concern.

Thrill of battle is excellent, use it with convalescence and it functions almost exactly as Rampart/Shadowskin does.
