Ok so I was going to ***/speculate about this udpate for drk with my other drk friends. Then I realized I don't know any other career drks on my server.
Nether Void (DRK Lv.78 Ability Delay: 5 min. Effect Duration: 1 min.)
Increases the absorption of your next dark magic spell.
Occult Acumen DRK Lv.45
Grants bonus TP when dealing damage with elemental or dark magic.
Aspir II: DRK Lv.78
Stone III: DRK Lv.76
Water III: DRK Lv.80
Anyone here remotely hopeful v.v?
DRK June Update.

These are obviously to encourage DRKs to use Magic more . along with the SC and MB dmg adj.s (thru abilities and what not) Square is trying to also encourage more SC/MB .
I hope that Aspir2 functions like Drain2 (i also hope BLM gets these) in that it can boost Max MP even if briefly .
IMHO DRK is one of the more Powerful DD jobs that is only utilized for 1 or 2 Specific Things (read Zerging) and its ability to Debuff , DoT , and Open SCs then MB for more DoT is undervalued .I would have liked to see some more Enhancing type spells , like Absorb Tier 2 or something .

About the only thing im excited about is being able to solo darkness with sekkanoki. Then I can MB my drain II and maybe get 100 TP back >.>
I am not DRK myself, but I could always cry if I see drks who only melees without casting absorb spells or even stun x.x So yes, please use mor magic.

I dont get why all the people QQ about DRK and magic. Dark has magic to be used its what makes if diffrent from the other DD jobs. I know I use em, ***I even nuke statues in dynamis.
Honestly if you want a pure melee job try WAR or SAM
I am really looking forward to these

Well the issue isn't the magic. If drk could cast elemental nukes and land them as reliably as a rdm blm or sch then it would be useful. Fact is drk can't land anything without a stave and a stave means you can't DD. So basically our magic does nothing because its resisted against anything beyond merit party mobs.

I do use magic but it's basically Drains and Dread Spikes with the occasional Aspir (and of course Stun) but if they're gonna make a new JA, at least make one that makes it easier for DRK to be on par with other jobs so we get invited more often. DRK is a good DD of course but against WAR and SAM it's a bit lacking and I hoped they'd fix it by giving us a good JA.
I honestly only use magic on drk when soloing or low manning(besides stun/drain/absorb-tp), otherwise I just DD all the way. Casting absorb spells for an epeen shot when in a party is just a waste when you could do a swing or 2 there that would do more dmg than the epeen shot.
so uhh...nobody even noticed that every 5 mins drk can self sc and mb with /sam? am i the only drk that sees the possibility here?

Well you can dark seal drain II on something like an HNM so the MB will land unresisted. It would probably be a drain upwards of 500 damage.
MB Drain II is gonna be some sick *** HP boost :)
I'm excited to see how much tp is given for dealing spell damage. It might make /sch viable for more than just campaign fun :P

I mentioned this in the other thread but I will reiterate here. Dark wins out in this update.
Nuking: If you don't have a SCH or BLM, you can still participate in nuking parties for things like farming HMN in sky or sea. You wont break the bank when compared to other nukers, but with a decent setup, you will keep up.
End result = added value to having a DRK.
Zerging: Boosted with a potency bonus to Drain2.
End result = added value to having a DRK.
Melee: DRK/SAM with sekkanoki = self skilchain. Also firing off a Drain and Drain2 will add TP!
End Result = added value to having a DRK.
Where is the disappointment?

Ive been saying for MONTHS drk/sam at 99 is probably gonna be the most reDICKulous thing to hit the game. Im really excited for the cap increases because FINALLY we may see some new job combos. I'm allready leveling a bunch of stuff for war to /.
The main problem with magic bursting off of self-darkness is that only Apocalypse users can create darkness. Compression is still available to everyone else though.
Where'd the solo Darkness come from? Cross Reaper/Spiral Hell both Distortion, Insurgency Fusion, Spinning Slash/Ground Strike both Frag.
Unless the new WS have Gravitation/Frag for Scythe or Fusion for GS, we won't be closing our own lv3's any time soon, I don't think? By all means, correct me if I'm wrong.
I like that DRK is getting something new, but the only thing I'm looking forward to is Occult Acumen, Nether Void isn't going to be all that useful outside of MAYBE making Drain II for Souleater Guillo hit even harder.

Need Gravitation based ws for either scythe or GS. GS you'd have to open with Ground Strike and close with the new WS, scythe you'd have to use cross reaper or spiral hell or something (already forgotten, but it wasn't guillotine).
