DRK vs. WAR: how do they compare?

[MrZalgo]

After having played WAR for the entirety of Asphodelos before moving into DRK for Abyssos I can comfortably say that DRK is way more comfy when it comes to mits compared.

Whether you want to use TBN as early as possible for two procs or use it as late as possible to mitigate DOT to its entirety, TBN is just way too strong and useful to not use in any case. Compared to Bloodwhetting where the single target heal just can't save you through the ridiculous damage the DOT does by itself. Being able to apply TBN to other players also makes it amazingly useful for invuln cheesing since it also allows you to get procs off of your partner if they are invulning something like P7S condensed. TBN by itself can also break P5S TBs since it significantly reduces the damage the MT will be taking before you tankswap and mit the Toxic Crunch.

Dark Mind is just broken this tier. Damn near everything is magic damage so Dark Mind just makes DOTs or just straight TBs feel like wet noodles sometimes.

Dark Missionary is a significant reduction in raidwide damage, way more than what Shake it Off can pull. Especially since Shake it Off requires Thrill of Battle to be able to compare comfortably with other raidwide mits.

Oblation I can honestly go devil's advocate and say that Oblation feels really good for what it does. Oblation and TBN is an extremely powerful mitigation combo since it mits alongside with the shield TBN pulls. Not to mention Oblation can be given to other party members, which helps greatly with reducing the damage another party member will take with a different mechanic altogether. It's almost designed as such even with it being under 2 charges compared to other short cooldown mitigations.
