Okay, since some of us may have jumped the gun a bit judging the previous update notes.....
This is all that we are REALLY getting for the Sept update.
-----------------------------------
Crit. Atk. Bonus: DRK Lv.85
Endark: DRK Lv.85
Aero III: DRK Lv.84
-----------------------------------
I have the level 80 OAT magian greatsword, so personally I really like the addition of Endark a lot.
Who can say how good it really will be DPS wise. Too many factors can take place. Spell cost, cast/recast, enspell damage, perhaps even affected by dark magic skill.
Trying to honestly think realistically about this, but realllllly want this to be a good magic spell that increases DPS. T_T
DRK Sept. Update.
DRK Sept. Update.
I can see Endark helping a DRK's DoT. But I'm not sure if it will help enough.
Crit. Atk. Bonus will be ok if they introduce a crit WS with 3 or more hits imo.
Aero III lol k.

Why would they do that? :/
Endark sounds hot in my opinion. Even if it's only a small amount of damage. You can cast it before engaging, and thus increasing your dps without factors such as casting time/time spent not swinging. Especially wiht your OAT GS, it will be proc'ing more. Plus, dark elemental damage itself is hot.
>.>; I still hope we get a good WS.
In my opinion, giving DRK Plaga Scythe (procs Darkness damage 100% of the time) last update, and then giving DRK EnDark this update, is just plain redundant.

Sadly, I see the only new weapon skills being tied to the Empyrean weapons, as said in a previous update preview. ("New trials involving the Empyrean weapons that include unlocking powerful weapon skills" or some such)
Maybe that's the story of DRK's Empyrean weapon's name. Redemption, as in they're finally redeemed and get a weapon skill that can compete with the other DD's powerhouse ws...?
EnDark needs to really be powerful, or it'll be useless. I'm thinking something like 10% of the Dark Magic skill at a minimum(So around 30 damage per strike) to be worth the cost of time for casting, assuming the casting time is shorter than stun.

Just a random thought, but:
"- Black Magic
Endark: DRK Lv.85"
So Endark is either an elemental spell (INT based) or (more likely) Dark magic based. The patch notes aren't clear.
Now look at:
"Occult Acumen
Game Description: Grants bonus TP when dealing damage with elemental or dark magic."
I have very little hope that this would work, but there is a slim chance that you could get a small amount of TP every time you strike an enemy with Endark up.
"- Black Magic
Endark: DRK Lv.85"

I thought about that, but I dont think we should have our hopes up..

What he said.
What if Endark, like Plaga, cancels Haste Samba effect? Would suck if it did since my PTs usually have a DNC (in abyssea) in them. Biggest reason I made my Absolution and stored my Plaga lol
Glad I chose Hollow Earring :D

Cos there won't be a better scythe in the next 5-19 levels?

This Endark spell will total ruin my newly acquired Plaga Scythe I just got yesterday, since the darkness added effect on it is 100% already 8\
I would care about Endark if I didn't have Plaga Scythe... oh well I guess it's better on Algol then the Fire Proc rate is
They also said they were adjusting previous Job Abilities...
... psst, Last Resort duration... doooo itt....

Either that or SE will be increasing its duration to 60 seconds seems plausible.
Do want!!!
Should be near full time like berserk. Would shut all those *** sams up when drks are at constant haste cap.

3 min duration Last Resort with 4:10 recast and I would actually ***bricks.

We're due. I'm tired of amano sams talkin ***about drk. QQ

So i see COR got Blitzer's Roll. is it possibile this might be job-a haste? and allow us to cap haste on 1 handed zerging.

That way if you have a BRD, COR, DNC, and RDM in your party, you can cap haste and even attack faster than that.
i'd assume it would be part of the haste calc or it be too powerful.
and haste samba is nice and all but no good for BWSE zerg ;.;

A boost to last resort duration would be amazing. I really hope they do this. (perfect way to bring drk more up there with other melee DDs dmg)
Crit. Atk. Bonus.... well, at least this is an update/upgrade to our melee side, a step in the right direction. (maybe a crit WS in the future? )
As for Endark, it could have potential. I hope it has a low casting delay of 0.5 sec. like stun. Also, making it dark magic skill based would be a good thing. (at least for those of us who have already built a good dark magic set)
We'll see...

As for what we already know is in the update, I'm not going to judge asap and just wait to see how this goes like I did last time. I absolutely love Nether Void and i've been waiting for an ability like that as soon as I found out how useless Dark Seal was for actual potency.
But yeah.. EnDark right after a 100% darkness damage proc rate scythe was rather pointless.. Maybe they're getting people used to the effect so it won't be soon forgotten when better scythes come out?
If it were near fulltime (similar to berserk) then we could actually just fulltime Seigan + Third Eye and the defense would rarely matter. For the time Third Eye is down we have Stun and Weapon Bash which both last a few seconds each which will, in some situations, last until Third Eye is back up.
