Sorry for the crappy layout, not feeling good atm.

Hope you feel better soon. So game changing this update is.

I was expecting more of: "To do more damage, you must take 99% of damage to HP."

I don't know why DRK would get nerfed. It's not exactly dominating every job.

This whole entire "update" could have served its purpose better as a discrete * at the bottom of a page talking about how they nerfed the rare/exclusive delivery options again.


Despite having sent feedback on the forum myself and trying to stay on topic, the fact that they actually post cool-action-pose pictures for ***like this is insulting.

I'm sure it took them longer to make a character, load the mob/take the screenshot and edit it on Photoshop then it did to come up, implement and "test" the change.

I was praying they would bring Dark back somehow... this is like spiting in our faces. I mean stun is helpful and all but 2mins recast is not a game breaker :/

DRK has been back, didnt you get the memo?

Capped JA haste and Resolution was all we really needed. Im generally pretty happy with DRK atm.

Yeah but not onto a extreme extent like most jobs, and Im not an abbysea person so im going of outside also, don't get me wrong i love my DRK, and they are back but I feel as were still getting thrown into a corner >.<

Spitting? this is more like someone rubbing a "santorum" in your eye. The whole "lets make drg a full time speed/steroid junkie" post made it seem as if all jobs were about to show a new side with skill increases/the ability to spam ws maniacs. (forgot about the cure bomb machine pet)
Drk, has always been in my eyes that "emo kid who finally snaps; cuts himself, then goes on his suicidal manic killing spree."
Personally, I'm not satisfied with how it plays anymore. It fell far behind par with war. No real trait to get it on par with war in tp accumulation. please don't even mention 90% of its slowly casted spells. It's main weapons aren't even close to doing the dmg it can do with vorpal blade either. empy scythe: a joke.
I'm anticipating the fecal mess when they try to "balance" empys.

War and mnk are getting nerfed. Right now (you know BEFORE the nerf) the drks I know are constantly leaving other jobs in the dust on parse for voidwatch. Where are you guys not content with DRK? Abyssea?

I'm pleased with entropy and resolution. How could you not be? The only way DRK can really "improve" at this stage in the game is getting a Magic based haste buff, and that would be absurd. I'm not terribly excited about the weapon bash, but I'm not gonna kick it out of bed.

I guess this is a slight improvement over SE trying to boost DRK magic abilities...

Just means more chance to proc in VW (then again how do you miss the first time).

Wasn't aware it was doing well outside of aby. Took a break and doubt I'll even be done with aby for a long time. That is my QQ zone.
As for the new ws, its a pity I couldn't find anyone that I personally know who has resolution. I'm still working on axe katana and debating which job will feel the love for the 3rd ws.
Just not satisfied with the ability to only favor 3 jobs.

Aside from that, missing the point. The first job thread adjustment towards drg was misleading. It was as if all jobs would've gotten better rating/abilities. Guess that's my fault for daydreaming :(

Of course. Drk can achieve 25% equip haste and 25% JA haste on their own. Whm haste is 15%. That leaves a 15% haste window for more magic haste. I was mostly just downplaying drk's "need" for buffs. I'm content with drk now.

I like this wording a lot better. I can see your point of view.

The reason why most drk is still perceived as doing poorly outside of abyssea is that the majority of the drk community are just stupid as ***.

If you know what you are doing with resolution... You will keep up with an average Ukon / Vere.

Still not keeping up with a top teir Ukon / Vere... But much closer than we were.

I'll take what ever "buffs" I can get, but I've always been of the opinion that Weapon Bash should have the same recast as stun.
