Core Issues With 4.x Dark Knight

But in Defiance WAR's Fell Cleave turns into a 437.5 potency attack that heals them and cuts their incoming damage by 20% for 6 seconds, so obviously it has suffered the worst injustice here.

Poe's law, don't fail me now.

First, I personally didn't claim anything proving DRK to be superior, I was asking an information...that can't be provided. Besides, since PLD (And WAR) lose more DPS than DRK by staying in tank stance (keep in mind losing more doesn't equal being lower), it's understandable that a fight with tank swaps would also benefit them by spreading mitigation needs and allowing more DPS stance uptime, even at low percentile.

The primary point to make with regards to your posts is that they are muddying the discussion by diverting attention away from the matter at hand with ephemeral discrepancies in perceived performance based on varying uses of individual skills, or stance usage, across percentiles that statistically are inconsequential in the scope of job balance as a whole, and which can be measured regardless of statistical subsets with the data that we actually DO have.

You're basically red-herring-ing everyone away from the implications of data that actually exists to try and talk about the implications of data that doesn't exist or that measures variations that are a very small part of an already measurable whole (Plunge or Holy Spirit usage across percentiles, the number of full-time Grit DRKs vs. full-time Defiance/ShO tanks at one specific very low percentile), effectively distracting people from the fire burning down a house by calling attention to the flames from the neighbor's grill.
