General

I have switched back and forth between the two pre and post drk nerf. While the whole cooldown situation does suck for drks but they are still really good. The thing with bossing is that as a drk you get your power spike for 30 seconds every 70 seconds (without %buff duration) while with hero you always have your damage, just need to use panic every 80 secs. The only thing that I miss from being a drk is that I dont have a revive and a drain skill which helps with gollux and magnus. As for mobbing id say that drks would be better, I personally dont like looking at the raging blow animation unless I have enrage on.

I switched from a Pally to Hero 2 weeks ago (never played as a DK tho) and my thoughts on the Hero is that it's very very good for bossing but that's kind of it.

As a Hero you have to use ALOT of pots (power elixer every 15seconds), Mobbing sucks (I hit like 700k on mobs with critical and 1.2mil on bosses with critical, with Enrage on ofcourse [60% damage increase, attacks only 1 monster]). this is just with 105k Buffed range, with decent-equips. Also the hero is a LATE BLOOMER! 20% damage increase hyper on Raging Blow isn't available till level 196 or so.

Which class would be better to play if i have around 500k-600k range on each? If you have 600k range on a hero you would have like 1mil + on a DK. Hero's skills don't affect its range much.
Which is more fun? Probably DK. Don't have to use pots that much, attacks have longer reach and you have better defense
Which is easier to fund? Probably DK again, or maybe the same
Which is a better bosser? I'd say Hero.

DrK for sure

They just nerfed drks and buffed heros and their power level is pretty similar now from what ive seen the only problem is hero needs to set up orbs

IIRC as a hero there is little difference between 600k range and 100/200k range, you can only solo the same bosses with both ranges. For like Empress and stuff you need a minimum of 800k, and in Khaini you need like 1.2m to get rank 10 gloves.

[quote=terfil]Its not possible to have the same range on both classes at once, so if you have 600k on a hero, you should have 1m+ on a drk. I would pick drk, because more mobbing capabilities.[/quote]

my random 42k range almost gearless hero hits 600k lines with RB on bosses

if i spent 3b on my hero id be hitting over 1.2ms per line without a doubt

Dark Knight. Hero's aren't what they used to be.

Drk FTW !

I like DrK because they were much better than heros (I had both 150). But they're a little closer now do to the DrK nerf, but I still prefer DrK

Its not possible to have the same range on both classes at once, so if you have 600k on a hero, you should have 1m+ on a drk. I would pick drk, because more mobbing capabilities.
