The official Dark Knight adjustment and suggestion topic.

-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 10% of *MP* from the DRK using it.
-Increased Parry skill rating to give Tactical Parry some reason to exist.

I'm sure I can think of a few others, given time.

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 the principle I'm trying to underline here is that losing HP generally makes you unpopular. Losing MP, on the other hand, isn't nearly as big a deal.

You are aware that sam not only has no decent critical ws, but is also pretty low tier atm, no?

Fix Apocalypse!

I spent 18~ months upgrading my Apocalypse through hard work and a lot of gil, yet anyone with a week of work can get a weapon that completely outclasses it (I.E. Caladbolg or redemption), to fix this I say merely make the ODD effect a bit lower on emp or a tad higher on relics (20%?) and make the haste aftermath of Apocalypse Job ability haste instead of gear haste.

That's all the input I have for the time being, keep up the good work!

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, really, would be to buff the Relic weaponskills, because for the most part they're... rather unimpressive.

Oh, and I cut down your Truffula Trees. Mah bad.

Bastard!!!

I agree with the nerf vs. buff statement, though I still feel emps are far overpowered for the amount of work you put into them. I disagree however with the buffing relic weaponskills, yes those need a buff also but it's the aftermath that is lacking in my opinion. I mean gugnir has shock spikes . . . and emp polearm has 40% ODD. Talk about wacky game balance. Or in a more relevant example, apoc gives gear haste when you can easily cap gear haste without relic now. It's just a rather meaningless aftermath now.

Well when they buff drk to be equal with sam, don't complain you didn't get what you asked for.
