  • Warrior - Upheaval (1)
  • Dark Knight - Edge/Flood, Salted Earth, Plunge, Abyssal Drain, Carve and Spit, Living Shadow (6)

The action on DRK happens as much between GCDs as it does on the GCD. Edge at 500 potency has as much impact if not more impact than most GCDs.

Also, did you seriously just count the continuation combo as three unique GCDs? The only technical difference is that you're expected to roll your face across the keyboard instead of hammering your face against a single key when it's active. Let's face the truth: Requiescat = Inner Release = Delirium = Continuation.



One is slightly more pretentious than the others, but that doesn't make it functionally any different.

When you look at burst windows, PLD and DRK have two, GNB either has two on a very slight technicality (given the fact that the rotation changes ever so slightly at 30 seconds vs. 60 seconds), and WAR has one. Also, DRK is really the only resource-based tank job, while the others all follow scripted rotations. So take from that what you will.
