Dark knight

[Shinzee]

Instead of asking to make drk the absolute king of tank dps you should maybe invest some time in learning to play it since drk is already very close to war dps if you discount fluffing of dps by going zerk on adds with the grp cheering the war. Also comparing darkside a permanent buff that takes barely anything to keep up with a cooldown on pld that has only 33% uptime is a good choice.

Seriously NOT. Got both at lvl 60 with ilevel around 216-220 and there is a lot of difference in my personal experience. Considering WAR can switch stance without a real backfire (try going on and off GRIT and say goodbye to your mana...), it's really a noticeable difference.

In tank stance it's Drk>war>pld over time. In OT it's War>>>>drk>pld.

And if you're stance dancing so often you're out of mp, doing it too often.

The difference is WAR is designed to stance dance more than DRK. Its reflected in the way the stances work. WAR takes a -25% to dmg to be in Defiance and loses its highest potency move meaning they want to get out of it and back into Deliverance ASAP. DRK on the other hand, sits at -8% to dmg while in Grit and still has access to all of its highest potency moves. What that means is WAR is going to have to stance dance more to get its avg % of out going damage higher. For example a WAR and a DRK that spends half the fight in tank stance and half the fight not - WAR (.75+1.05)/2= .9 DRK (.92+1.15)/2=1.035 WAR is going to want to spend more spend more time out of Defiance if possible to not have its outgoing damage hampered.
