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.
