The Beast vs the Darkness

[FinalWolf]

From a lore standpoint if a WAR and a DRK were to fight to the death who would win?

[AskaRay]

WAR would be too busy telling the DRK to look at their mad deeps
DRK would be too busy being an Edgelord

So, neither.

Everyone go home.

It ultimately depends on ability of that person. But I am inclined to think that a DRK will have a slight edge over WAR.

That and

Derplander (a WAR) could not even beat a rogue (Thancred) in their fight

[Jim_Berry]

Probably a WAR, due to how aggressive it is. WARs feed on battles, so long as they don't wimp out and become a DRG

Depends on many things. The longer the fight, the more it goes to DRK IMO. Both use massive weapons, both have a very "attack centric" style. In a short fight, WAR would overpower DRK. In a long fight the DRK gets angrier and angrier, puts more and more cuts on the WAR. The main advantage of DRK is two fold IMO:
ONE: He uses MAGIC along with regular strength, unlike WAR (mostly).
TWO: He has a split personality. He can go angry and wreck up people, essentially becoming a leech. Or, he can be calm and cool and play it safe and defensive (lots of ands there). Or he can do both.

Disagree.

Longer a fight goes on, the weaker a DRK gets. WAR have much better HP recovery and TP management, so they can just fight a war of attrition if they chose and just outlast the DRK.

[Ashkendor]

Well yah, but even if he faces the winner and they are at 1/2 or even 1/3 HP, it will take him half a year to kill said winner. At minimum.

You should save that Salted Earth for the Warrior. ;3

Lawl, agreed. 3 minutes in the DRK would be running on empty while the WAR beat his face in.

I honestly have only just hit 30 on Warrior, but 60 on DRK. As DRK I can replinish HP and MP, and TP comes back naturally. Didn't realize WAR had that big of a moveset!

Equilibrium - 0 cast time 1200 potency heal or 200 TP restore, 60 second cd
Inner Beast - restores 100% of the damage dealt as HP
Storm's Path - restores 50% (?) of the damage dealt as HP
Bloodbath - traited to last 30 seconds
Second Wind - xclass from pugilist

To say nothing of the old Berserk/Fell Cleave and what kind of damage that does... or the fact that their 30% damage reduction cooldown also has a "stop hitting yourself!" reflect effect to it. Warrior would be crazy strong in 1v1. @_@
