When would you take DRK over PLD or WAR?

[Faytte]

Yep...as a MT

Casting a spell means no auto threat generation, no shield blocking or parry. Its a LONG spell and easy to interrupt.
As an OT, most of the time the spell ends up being 80% over healing cause healers are far far faster, and you are not dpsing.

Dark knight can use unmake for 150 potency, spam it, still be attacking (since its 'instant') and regen a full gcd worth of tp during that time period. Thats far superior as MT or OT to say, shield swipe (the amount of tp you gain vs the damage (free for 150, or 40 for 210).

I would take a DRK over the other two tanks, when the player playing the DRK is good.

Player skill > class

Why?

I see this argument, but do not understand it. Can you expand on why you think this?

[Einherei]

this topic is about when would you take a drk over a pld or war.
MythToken view is that they believe player skill > class.
They answered the topic with their own answer, from their own personal view they believe skill is more important.
There is no room to expand on a person personal view point.

He seems to imply if skill is good, he would take a dark over an equally skilled pld or war, unless I'm mistaken.

If you are saying you would take a good skill tank over a bad tank regardless of class, yeah--I agree with that. If its implying that at good skill levels that Darks excel, then I need an explanation

[Einherei]

I think you have it right, it seems he is implying the former rather than the latter.
