Taru Dark Knight

[vigz0r]

Hey everyone,

I recently got my DRK to 16 and I'm really enjoying the class. I use my RDM to solo/group with linkshell members (group doesnt bypass 3 people), I'm rich (70k, well rich in MY mind ), and I'm going along pretty good.

Now, I'v been reading many many times on many boards about how War is a good choice to 60, and then you can sub thief if you want. I was originally going to go Thief for sneak/attack, however with the recent nerfs and reading sneak only does damage of a regular critical, I'm starting to rethink my decision.

My question is, should I go /War as a taru? Do I get anything special out /war or /thf being a taru? Like more STR, even more dex? Are DRKs really expected to taunt once in awhile? Is berserk and double swing really worth it?

Thanks.

Hmmmmm tough question but one thng i can answer is, if your in a party and your main tank is dead (you better not be the main tank) anyway if your main tank is dead and its just you and say......... a White Mage, than yes you got to taunt the living hell out of your enemy so the White Mage (if skilled enough) can revive everyone else.

Well early lvls I'm seeing a lot of Drk/whm Drk/rdms..

Beserk and Double attack is very nice for the drk (remember its all about pumping out the dmg).

A Drk/Rdm can still be taken a long way. I remember Drizt taking Drk/rdm to lvl 50 or 55.. o.o around there in Beta.

Ok thanks much for the replies. I think I'll stick with Rdm sub till around 30-40, then hopefully around there I can go through the pain of leveling yet another class from 10-20. I'm leaning more to Warrior right now.
