I’d say no on DK, there’s just no mobility/speed
which is true for ground-work, but neglects mounted-work.
DK has great mobility for farming (matched only by pally) because of the Class Hall perk: Deathcharger: Can interact(loot) while mounted.
Both classes SOP: Ride through @220%, herd mobs up, AOE down, loot…but no remount.
Note: for some reason, mining/herbing/skinning will dismount you.
NB: Skinning/mining may happen inadvertently, when you just want to loot, esp goats/basilisks.
Key Idea 1: Even when the timer expires, the buff persists, as long as you don’t go indoors/cave, take a flight, or ‘gather’.
Key Idea 2: Both chargers can be extended over several assaults (potentially unlimited).
WithOUT dismounting you can:
- Dalhearth
- Hearth to Forsaken Landing/Skyfire Triage/Nesingwary/Theodric/??. (Generally, I use the first two so I can ride to the Kirin Tor - Dal Portal. 90sec ride.) Note: pally-Kodo gets stuck inside the Nesingwary hut.
- Skyroc Kiting. Esp, gliding out of NewDal. Timing on pulling the cord varies, e.g ~8 sec delay for Azsuna landing. Always lols with huge kodo and tiny wings.
- Attempt to ride away from unscaled adds in the assaults. YMMV
- And...
Unstoppabull (Ok, predictable).
DK can Deathgate to the classhall, w/o dismounting, and the hitching post is right there (advantage: DK). Plus your Poultice/Regens don’t disappear, as Acherus is still in the Broken Shore. (adv: DK)
Downside: Cannot eat so healing can be a problem for DK (adv: pally).
Key idea 3: If you TRY to loot the charger from the hitching post, and you already have one in your bags ...or your bags are accidentally full, ...the chargers will go to your mailbox. Fortuitously, you can grab those chargers...ehem...anytime in the next 30 days. So far, no limitation on the number of chargers in the mail.
Lesser Details:
The thing I miss most often while charger-mounted is access to a bank, but you might have Jeeves, guild page, etc.
