TheOsyris said:ok... Uzor i can see your point to a certain degree. but Tyraths point is one that a skilled end game drk would have on this situation. not a healer who has seen all the bad drks and few good ones. myself and tyrath are very skilled end game drks. tho i have long retired drk. a skilled drk/war wont get hit in cannon with other melees being /nin. unless the other melee are sub par. a skilled drk would control hate very easy. our slow swings/high dmg allready spreads out our enmity compared to others fast pased/med dmg. but its more then whatever you see those bad drks doing... when a drk knows how to do its job, there is no need for /NIN unless you have club or ridill. any other /nin is waste.(not counting ballista and solo situations) we have stun which has saved my life countless times. example @50% hp if i was to ws and mob does not die. i would have hate for sure and about to become what you feel is mp sponge. STUN by the time that T mob is no longer stunned he is already dead. drain.. do these drks you pt with not use drain? my drain does anywhere up to 340hp returned to me. /nin is for wars or higher parse dmg melee. if there is mnk mnk war nin as melees in pt.. WHY should drk sub nin???? is he taking hate off mnk and war?? only if he doesnt control ws activation properly. being /war in these situations will bring you closer to the enmity cap in merit where mobs would turn to you and attack you over the mnk and whatnot. but like we have said countless times by now. its how you CONTROL your drk/war.
I'm not saying you're a bad DRK, and I know Tyrath's a good DRK. And no, I've never seen the DRK's I usually party with use anything but stun, and that's rather rare <.<;
