You forgot to mention how Shattersoul is utter win (as far as SMN is concerned).

Utility for what, the spell list and magic we don't cast? We'd need better magic, as it stands our spells are very low cost as it is.


They gave us a WS for a function we don't use, I'm convinced the SE dev team thinks DRK actually casts elemental magic in combat, or has spells beyond Stun or ABS-TP that are worth casting consistently.

Even then those are iffy because with Haste + LR + Gear Haste Absorb-TP is nearly not worth it, with double march you shouldn't be casting ever.

No point.

That said, it's damage does need to be upped.

I'd rather it be Aspir.

Our 2hr is worthless on undead, Catastrophe doesn't drain HP.
Why break the trend?! At least make the WS make sense and consistent.

What now we have a way to recover our MP we don't use 100% of the time? What garbage.

Think of Entropy like Dark Knight's Temper.

A WS (spell) that 90% of the playerbase won't actually use, because Magic (Melee) on Dark Knight (Red Mage) is damned near useless.

It's so similar it's scary. I've also reversed my stance on Entropy being decent after seeing BG fTP testing that shows that it may be even worse than advertised.

Edit: Can we trade you? You can have Temper. I wouldn't mind a 4-hit INT mod sword WS that recovered MP. Would make Dusty Wings in Voidwatch actually useful for RDM.
