Getting refused to EX groups as a DRK

[Tila]

A lot of people in these threads are confusing

"Is useable"

with

"Is viable"

Just because the DRK is capable of doing the content does not mean they are in an ok place. WAR and PLD are just plain better. Some of the mental gymnastics that people use to prove other tanks arent as good is just hilarious at that. Like saying that defiance isnt real mitigation because it just ups the HP: ignoring the fact that one big point of defiance is that it also improves healing effects. Or how I have many times seen people comparing DRK skills to other tank skills minus the new HW ones.

It's a legitimate confusion.
If the DRK is capable of performing the content, then who really cares if other tanks can do it better, other than folks who get into wankery about minmaxing?

One day, just like with the screen shot of the huge crit Fel Cleave, you will see a healer post a screen shot of like an 11k Cure II on a Warrior Tank who was in Defiance with the other Paladin cross-class HP+ healing effect skill on, with a mind potion popped, with full healing cooldowns and people will be like "Omg WHM so OP for heals." All perfect conditions with all the +Healing and stuff for the ultimate screen shot.
