Reading threads/watching videos about DRK from first 4 weeks of expansion.

It's almost completely the opposite of what you see now.

"DRK is weak..."
"DRK is squishy..."
"No one will use a DRK MT over pld/war...."
"PLD is the hands down better MT..."

Oh how quickly things changed, with the only buff DRK got being the blood weapon one, we also got the double C&S nerf.
