The loot system more than anything else seems to be what will push this more towards a large-scale LS event rather than a VW-styled PUG event.

It's also notably different from a Abyssea pick-up...

It happened a few times by way of various exploits; each time it happened, SE would fix the exploit and it would be back to square one.

When they readjusted AV/PW to be killable within a more...

Yep. Depends on what they offer in terms of defensive capabilities for DRK; Dread Spikes is nice and all, but takes a wee bit too long to cast in some circumstances, and the recast will leave you...

I'll wait and see just how much they reduce the HP loss in Souleater by before I make any major changes to my merits.

It's not a matter of various RDM feeling like their own special territory is being trod upon. It's a question of why SE bothered to give casting abilities to DRK at all, when using those abilities...

Recasts and cast times, really. It takes way too long to cast a spell for it to be worthwhile for a DRK; in the time it takes to cast a Tier III spell, you could have swung enough times to easily...

1300 VE spike, I'm aware.

2-3k Torcleaver, followed by a lot of 1k+ crits in the resulting aftermath tends to pull a hell of a lot more hate than a single less-than-one-Provoke job ability.

I'll be honest... 3 minute Last Resort will basically make me a dead man, most of the time. 30 seconds of Last Resort currently gets me hate off of pretty much any tank I've ever played with; 3...

Do you people not READ or something? They've already come right out and said that they will not be billing for April.

Dude.

5-second rule.

Not, but it would be entertaining, at the very least, and expand gear options somewhat.

Fair obviously doesn't enter into the equation, else we wouldn't be talking about how to fix DRK lol.

True, but more haste in the waist slot allows more options in other slots. Plus hey, double attack.

"Many" is not "most". Even if most players weren't enthusiastic about the merger (and that's usually the case), SE has already done a set of mergers, and evidently was pleased with the results.

Easier to just buff Relics than nerf Empyreans; people are rarely happy when nerfs get handed down, but buffs are typically greeted with a more relaxed attitude. And the easy way to buff Relics,...

I doubt it's a monetary issue, in this instance. It seems far more likely that SE is simply looking at the peak populations of those particular servers, and deciding that they don't warrant a server...

To continue:
If you're not keen on adjusting Souleater, add a new ability that causes a persistent MP drain in return for a vastly improved attack bonus/attack rate/damage dealt.

Fundamentally...

-Auto-Refresh, or an MP-gain ability, along the lines of "Your next hit will convert x% of damage dealt into MP gained."
-Adjust Souleater to deal 10% of HP as additional damage, while subtracting...

Either give PLD some form of -damage taken ability, or simply adjust the way defense works against damage. Right now, stacking defense has very limited utility after a certain level, when you get...
