The value of Carve and Spit.

[Marduk33]

FC vs C&S is not a fair comparison. The former is stance dependent, on the gcd, and resides on a job whose dps is primarily in percentage based offensive buffs. The latter is off the gcd, independent of stance, and resides on a job whose dps lies in its higher base potencies and off-gcds.

That said, a 10K cleave is something that requires buffs/debuffs on yourself/the target. A carve with similar modifiers is probably only going to achieve 5-6K due to lack of a Berserk-style cooldown. Carve not costing a GCD makes up for this IMO.

Thanks for giving me some insight.
I was wondering before where Drk strength lies.
Havent read much about them tbh. I just go into df and tank for tomes,
although sometimes i wish i did better. Too afraid to pug raids as for now.

I actually wrote a guide on these forums. Its in the front page. "Tanking on the edge" lol. Its likely imperfect as there are so few guides and resources out there for DRK with which to cross-examine your own work, but it may still prove helpful.
