- Infuriate is the WAR equivalent of Blood Weapon
- Upheaval is the WAR equivalent of Carve and Spit.
- Nascent Chaos is the WAR equivalent to Living Shadow.

They are point for point modeled the same with just class flavored flourishes. I would buy the argument that they did this to ease balance and would accept it begrudgingly if they had also changed PLD and GNB to use this model. But since those two classes play significantly differently and could be balanced it seems to me that they were just lazy with the DRK redesign.

At least I personally feel the DRK version of the DRK/WAR pair is the less boring of the two since managing MP and weaving Edge/Flood is more engaging to me than maintaining Storms Eye. But I found 4.0 WAR mind numbing so it's not saying much.
Exactly what I been saying since media tour and after playing WAR. WAR 5.0 is extremely boring all do is wait for inner realese To then get the more powerful fell cleave that's it! I do plan to fully lvl WAR fully since I'm about done DRK.
