you can take 3 orbs without grit, tank the dolls in quarantine without it and take the tethers without it. you're wasting dps. Shadowskin, Shadow Wall, DA'd Dark Mind. Call it a day. If you want to feel safer, stance dance for the orbs. You should have absolutely no MP issues with access to Blood Weapon.

Well guess what Odett DRK is a tank first and dps 2nd like every other tank role its not our job to be pushing more dps than what a dps dose. It also taking less damage means healers need to heal less.

Its not that it's hard what it is is inconvenient because we need to keep Darkside up at all times and puting Grit up costs about almost 2k in mp this is more than PLD and DRK need mp for Darkside so even if we fill back up with mp with blood weapon we still need to use a chunk of it to put Grit up.

And comparing this to WAR is just wrong WAR is the only tank that has its tank and dps stance ogcd so they don't need to worry about not having gcd bk up to use them. Not to mention they don't need to use mp to put them up. And not to mention their stack bonuses are transferable between the 2.
