    Good DPS as a tank

    Hello, lately i've been playing Frontlines as DRK. At the end of the round I usually get about 60K damage. My last round i had a 2/4 kill ratio. (i'm a dumb tank) Is that a good amount or should i step it up a bit?

    use str accesories, use pvp skill, have darkside up, get grit off, use dark art soul eater (better potency combo, dark art carve andspit (good potency CD) use delirium combo when you lack MP (better potency combo when you can't afford to dark arts)
    use you offence as well, pop defensive CD pop grit when you are focus (it's obvious off course)
    so it play like in pve XD, exept you have to add pvp skill.
    after it's better to not focus solo your dark will not two shot someone.

    Use Sprint if you aren't. You get so much more DMG out when you have the movement speed.

    For DRK specifically don't engage with plunge. I like to Sprint to my target and start with a Tar Pit > DA CS followed by DA SE spam. Save plunge and low blow for when they try to run away and your sprint wore off. You can easily solo SMN this way as well as any other DPS.

    I also pop my defensive CD's once I notice I'm getting targeted.

    Don't forget to pop pushback if the enemy starts to fight back.

    Should wish peeps actually would tank when playing tanks lol. Because of the tanky nature of tanks, making them compete with dps's in dps has the potential to make them op. Warriors already are way op because of this imo. Fell cleave <- need I even say more.

    As for dps advice. Yeah, go with str accessories and make good use of your PvP skills. As I've never played any tank in PvP that is pretty much the baseline I know of.

    the tank in pvp is healers XD, come with few protection utility for others in pvp, so tank is merely dps with more defense in pvp
