Alright, so long story short, I've been away since the launch of Heavensward. (I beat the MSQ of Heavensward, and then quit) I had WAR at 50 from vanilla, but ungeared, and DRK at 30. This time around I decided to tank instead of play as DD (considering that they added two new DD\\\\'s and I figured queue times would be horrendous now).

Now I started playing WAR and honestly, I feel like it\\\\'s just not fun. The Beast Gauge resource is neat except it stinks REALLY bad when I work to fill up the gauge and can only use Steel Cyclone twice..I can\\\\'t use Bloodbath to sustain anymore so STR builds seem less enticing.

I\\\\'ve moved on to DRK, and I know NOTHING about the class. Is there a good guide out there for DRK? There are some things that I struggle with slightly, for instance, why wouldn\\\\'t I just always leave Darkside on? Why can\\\\'t I use Dark Arts sometimes? Why doesn\\\\'t Abyssal Drain heal me while in Grit stance? I know I\\\\'m missing a mechanic somewhere..
