If they didn't, of course they'd lose aggro. And Provoke doesn't count.(06-23-2015, 07:08 AM)Memenu Wrote: From my experience with DRK, I'm going to say it's damn near close to borderline.They can.
The only thing that makes it balanced is the total lack of utility when off-tanking. When it comes to main-tanking though, hoo boy, I highly doubt you'll lose aggro ever, period.
I've taken it from them as a NIN before and I've seen both PLD and WAR do it. Though PLD used provoke.
By the way I discovered Sole Survivor works on enemies too. That makes it far more useful than what I thought.
EDIT: Oh and Carve and Spit grants MP if used while not in Dark Arts (something like 850 MP). That means we'll probably end up using it without Dark Arts while tanking, for MP regen, and with Dark Arts while DPSing, for more damage.
Oh and they can handle a few hits, so it's not really a problem if they take aggro. Maybe that's what NIN's enmity control skills are for.
