It sounds almost like how viable is demon slayers in comparison to X jobs.
Anyways, status resistance wise, they're actually the same as mihile but only slightly wins due to char deck bonus, with a base of 60% resist with buffs (80% with lvl 100 willpower, 83% with a lvl 120 ds deck, can do the same for Mihile for equal resist). The hp draining skills from the DS job is barely noticeable that most of the time you wouldn't even realize you used HP in the first place unless you died. Raven storm already heals 40% of your hp plus does dmg and only costs 30 DF which is easy to get. You can back that up with a leech aura for extra healing. Binding won't save you from DR, but it will give you extra time in advance before DR kicks in. Magic crash is more like your prevention skill which mihile, warr adventurer classes, and phantom has. Auto pot is almost pointless for DS job, I can go almost anywhere and won't even need it, you don't take enough dmg in the game to even care unless its a DR that 1 shots you or does super high dmg. Empress doesn't count because potion cd gets bugged even worse when you slap it with auto pots. The only classes that should use auto pots at all are the "squishy" classes, and DS aren't one of them. The 3 classes that can easily reach cap def with moderate or "average" funding are paladins, demon slayers, and mihile.
This thread or post can go on longer about who does better damage than the other on equal footing with similar abilities, but I won't bore you with that unless you actually want to know about it.
