[quote=Barquifa]I like this description. Short and to the point. I feel you on that HB thing too..since the worlds are overpopulated by phantoms, most parties got that taken care of. Now it's like if you happen to be in a party with a drk and no phantom youre like "oh, well at least we still got hyper body"..i would never underestimate the usefulness of hyper body at stronghold though.[/quote]

gotta thank glitched skills being removed for that, before nobody wanted real HB LOL.

[quote=chaosblast77]Aran:

Pros:
-Unfunded high damage
-Somewhat-okay mobility
-Combo Drain (basically same as DrK drain, so not really pro)

Con:
Low defense; needs Combo Barrier and like to be tankier
Hindered by Damage Cap edit: when funded.

DrKs:

Pros:
-Okay mobility with no-delay(I think) Slipstream
-Spears not overpriced?
-When funded, deals heavy damage

Cons:
-Does not have [b]any[/b], I repeat, [b]ANY[/b] defense skills other than Iron Wall. IW does not do much.
-Very bad damage unfunded
-Hyper Body not quite as looked for nowadays (in my opinion; share your own HB experiences)[/quote]

[quote=LaViTa]i love my drk and i dont regret making him at all but they kinda suck. i feel like i wasted 2b funding him with an htp and 161 att skiis. even with 27 att wgs on top of that he only hits about 20k per DI. theyre a cool class and have potential to be great but unless youre going to fund one to an insanely high range you could do a lot more with another class. i hit similar damage to what my dk was hitting at 110 with my lvl 70 aran[/quote]

Jesus...

I have a 128 atk spear, Dep. star, and 8 atk WG and I'm hittin 45-50k per line with DI (lvl 141)

Something isn't right...

I can try to help with the drk side (most of it coming from various other drks) but I find that they are somewhat similar. Try both an see what you like.

Pro:
High hp (with HB)
Mid range attacks
Drain

Cons:
"Spongy" defense
Sorta weak past lv 150-160
Sorta boring from 1-70
