The sad part is a WAR using a Greatsword > a DRK using a Greatsword > a DRK using a Scythe.

Quick question about DRK in VW... does fanatics prevent HP lost from Souleater? I saw a mild reference to it in one of these threads, but it doesn't seem like it would make sense for fanatics rather than fools. The reference was something along the lines of "A DRK using souleater under the effect of fanatics or perfect defense..." though it might have just meant that you can't kill yourself with it under those conditions and you still need cure bombs, idk.
No it doesn't prevent HP loss from soul eater. What it does do is prevent the DRK from dieing when their HP is going down during the NMs super aoe moves. SE and Fanatics both have the same duration of 60s, so if you pop SE right before you pop Fanatics you should be protected the entire time. A good WHM will be cure bombing their parties DRK during that first 60s zerg time.

Indeed DRK is overpowered in Void watch just as a ukkos WAR is overpowered in abyssea outside of there it's alot closer.
btw if a DRK is 3x more powerful than a WAR then it's the person playing that WAR i've seen WARs get pretty close to Ragna DRK going all out.
Only with 2hr tho after that DRK > WAR with GSD
Main : 99 DRK
Subs : 99 SMN COR SCH MELEEWHM
Server : Ragnarök
Relics : 95 Ragnarok and 95 Apoc
Ironic that when i was young i never had enough video games but now i have too many and not enough time to play them .
The DRK in me wishes that was the true. The harder the mob the more GS favors WAR, especially Ragnarok. LR is the saving grace of DRK. (the minute its down really really hurts) Don't get me wrong there are situations where DRK beats WAR with a greatsword but most of the now content greatly favors WAR. (Watcher,Legion) Once you factor in WARs 2hr its not even close, but you know that already.

Umm what ..
WAR/SAM
DRK/SAM
Both have a 3/5min 25% attack boost. WAR had DA, DRK has SE. And if your talking pure embrava / PD "zerg" then DRK/WAR has both Berserk and LR to go with their SE. WAR has aggressor but WAR also has less accuracy then DRK.
The only thing WAR has over DRK is MS / Savagery WC. MS can be done once per 2hr for insane numbers. Nice to have but I like to fight more then 1 NM per event day.

I can't figure out what he's talking about ....
DRK has more attack then WAR so pDiff isn't a factor. Res isn't a crit WS so WAR's CAB II / Emp +2 boots aren't really a factor. Rag has +crit rate but crit rate has diminishing returns similar to DA, also both have similar gear options so that's not an issue.
And that's pretty much it outside of MS zerging which is once per 2hr.
