    That seems a bit surprising considering the forum uproar. I'd be interested to know what rotations you're using.

    For PLD it's pretty simple: Keeping FoF on CD, start GB combo and do it every time after 2 RA combos. SW and CoS whenever up.

    FOR DRK... start Scourge and Salted Earth, spam DA SE combo while also keeping Plunge, DP, Low Blow, and C&S on CD while also always using C&S with DA, and always have BW on whenever it's up. Usually fit 2 oGCD skills in between. If low on mp, use Delirium combo until I can get sufficient MP back. Also Scourge whenever it wears off, and Salted Earth whenever available.

    EDIT: The reason why I was doing multiple dummy parse runs was because of the uproar on the forums. Couldn't really believe it because I had thought DRK was supposed to be quite a bit ahead, and in pretty much all the cases, they were nearly even, with PLD being able to last longer. Maybe the parser itself is not counting something right on DRK.

    Do not let any attachment to life cause you fear. Do not let fear of the end lessen your pace. Do not repent for anything! Should you ever doubt the path you have chosen, look at your blade and ask yourself this: does it glow with true darkness?
