PLDs are not MT, but DRK are. Discuss.

[Izsha]

It's not that it has many mechanics. It's that drk/pld can assist the party better as the ot while war cant fo anything except fell cleave as ot and it does that as my so you gain nothing putting war on the side. Unless you run double war the OT should be a not war that can assist the party better

You dont need to tank swap for enmity. The OT hits voke(get same enmity as MT), then shirks the mt. Mt just got 25% more enmity. If you want to get real fancy.

MT has 100% enmity.
Ot vokes. OT/MT @100%.
Mt shirks OT. OT@125%. MT 75%
MT vokes (125%)
Ot shirks MT.

Mt now at 156.25% enmity. Ot at 94%.

Long story short, enmity has no bearing on who's a good Ot because shirks and circle shirks exist. Enmity is a complete bon issue. The only time enmity matters is when pulli. After that you you put whoever you want as MT and shirk the rest of the fight.

As for damage being preferable. War does the same damage as regardless of position. You have to pair a war with something. Both of the other somethings (drk and pld) provide more value as OT than war does making war always the MT (same damage regardless) and the other (drk/pld) as the better OT to the war as they can assist the war with mitigation and assist the party with mitigation. War is just gonna fell cleave bo matter what.
