I think he's referring to weapons, which aren't a part of the actual job itself.
I've been DRK since NA release in 2003.
I've seen 8 years of DRK q_q
Just remember, anyone that isn't DRK and says DRK sucks, well, they are a moron. ^^
DRK doesn't really have a reason to QQ at this moment.
It has the most self sustained haste out of any job, the most durability out of any 2 handed DD (w/ apoc), (maybe behind DRG if you are counting enmity reduction), and the most 'utility' of any of the 2 handed DDs (basically 60% of all darkness procs).
You want potent terror? Proc red and stop crying.
Theres some Dark Knight ablities & spells that where given to them in other games but not (or ever) given in FFXI
Demi- This was given to Summoners, Diabolos's "Somnolence"
Weighs target down, and deals magical damage.
Doom- Given to Blue Mages via Mortal Ray
Charon- Ninja 2hr Mijin Gakure
Break- Was Given to other jobs first
I know what everyone's gonna say though "LOLOL STFU YOU LOLDRK LEVEL WAR OR SOMETHING USEFUL"
This would be a much more useful JA for drk....way better then Scarlet Delirium
Eye for an Eye
Attack damage increases with lower HP. I know Desperate blows is close...but still
If he got off his ass and leveled dark knight to compare to his warrior he might have some idea what exactly the problem is. I am sure the "I don't want to level dark knight" comment gets thrown in here however I have both and having a damn relic shouldn't define the job like Taint/Dart stated. I have warrior with Laceratrice and just with raging rush alone I can damage compariable to people who suck with Ukko's Fury from Uko.
EDIT: I don't exactly like having most of these jobs leveled. I sure as hell didn't want to level whm of all things however I did to experience the game play involved with the job. I have read that Leon says he's bored with the game so if he wants to "experience" more of FFXI that would be a good undertaking for him.
