Ideas for drk

My char Rydstrom was deleted but before he left to join Altana he made drk look good without game breaking gear. No apoc redemption cadalbolg. Merely a fully merited well played drk who knew how to hit just as hard as fudo sams and ukko wars wiithout the top end gear they had in and out of abyssea. Drk is a job that requires timing more so than any other job in the game timing on stuns timing on absorb TP must WS at 100 because guillo gets no dmg bonus with tp. If you time it right you can execute big dmg wipe saving stuns etc. so...here are my ideas based on this.



Job Traits

Dark Aura: Gives a chance to terrorize the current target when the target readies a TP move or casts a magic spell. % rises upon successful stun when target is readying a TP move or casting a magic spell.


Scythe Mastery: upon obtaining the maximum skill level with scythe (merits and skill only not gear) you unlock all Weaponskills with the weapon type. (i want this for all jobs with A+ skills in a weapon or the highest rank.) the reason is simple as content like nyzul gets outdated the chance to get a reasonable floor for new players greatly decreases also some players play solo alot why force them to join LSs just for a cool WS?


Dark Celerity: increases the speed which dark magic is cast.

JA

Carnage: 1 min duration 5 min recast while active each critical hit landed makes the target bleed for 10 dmg per tick. Each additional critical hit adds 10 more dmg to the Carnage effect.

Riposte: The next blow you take will land for 3x dmg. The attack or spell you cast before unleashing Riposte will have its duration or effect tripled. example dread spikes will stay active for 150% of your max hp instead of the standard 50. absorb TP will steal 3x the tp it would normally. Duration 1 minute Recast 5 minutes

Chaos: do you remember FFVII? Vincent Valentine was a gun toting Drk but a drk none the less. Duration 1 minute Recast 120 minutes. Once activated you become a living nightmare all attacks deal critical dmg and receive a powerful attack boost and am HP buff however the drk becomes bloodthirsty and can't be healed or buffed at all and receives the following status ailments: Mute Bind Amnesia Defense Down half of current def. PS this is designed to let drk zerg again.


Spells

blizzard 3 thunder 3

Terror: target receives a chance to be terrorized for 5 seconds. effect and duration effected by Int. (think paralyze but longer effect and lower proc rate.)

Plague: applies the following effects if not resisted. Bio 3 Def down Atk down mag def down mag atk down critical hit rate down critical hit evasion down. strength duration and resist rate based on Int

Bio 3

Virus (US FF2 anyone?) Deals dmg based on Int and Mab and applies a Dot of 50% of the original dmg dealt.


WS

Upon triggering Scythe Mastery you unlock the following WS: Varda's Rage: 6 hit WS that deals Critical hit damage. Aftermath: Magic Attack Bonus and Attack Bonus. WS mods 50% int 50% str.


these are just examples of some of the things on my list for drk. some are wacky and different but i ask you to think about them as rough drafts that need refining.

No you didn't come close to Ukko's fury or Fudo with your drk.

Didn't read the rest after the terrible lie at the start.

I'll try to do this without trying to sound like an arrogant bitch, or trying to be offensive at all.

I realize I'm far from being a top tier DRK but here's my gears:
http://www.ffxiah.com/item-sets/194889

http://www.ffxiah.com/item-sets/194891

Caladbolg, 85 -> Torcleaver
http://www.ffxiah.com/item-sets/196245

I'm fully merited on STR, scythe, gs, 5/5 last resort, 5/5 diabolic eye, 5/5 desperate blows and fyi, 5/5 souleater (I pop last resort + souleater AFTER I use a Torcleaver taking in advantage the aftermath effect, letting everyone in my party know first).

And even after saying all of that, standing there with my 783 or something attack, double haste songs, haste spell and hasso... (using generally VV, RR and Griffin's Claw) I can >>>SAFELY<<< say that I'm nowhere near close to Ukko's, Fudo, Smite, Drakesbane and Hi.

I simply can't believe in your information Rydstom.

If you really mean what you wrote, all of us would like to see a solid proof of your performance and the people you play with. Because all of us, in this case, should be doing something wrong.

A lot of what you ask goes against SE's plan to keep all the jobs "Unique"

So very little doubt here.

Seems too many people are focused about what you wrote about yourself and less about the ideas you gave. Granted, you should have just stuck with what the topic was about rather than bringing up details that don't matter toward it.

That being said, everyone who posted before me regarding it needs to just let it go, for god's sake. It's not important.

As for your ideas, I like the spells and the Dark Magic casting speed, but not a fan of the rest.

try using VV SA Apoc atma and see if makes a difference. i promise you i have made torcleavers look bad with guillotine with that setup

http://www.ffxiah.com/player/Lakshmi/Rydstrom this is my drk. not to different from yours. torcleaver will not hit harder than my set but you will out WS frequency me. i digress tho none of that is remotely important to the topic. look at the JT JA MA and talk about that. honestly for all i care keep thinking i was trash

trust me i get it but you need to put down the angry vet glasses that have CoP pre nerf written on the frames.this game needs to be noob* friendly at its old age and content like nyzul if your new especially next year will be very hard to do unless the devs make it more worthwhile at 99

The point to do Nyzul is for the mythic weapon skills. If you think they're not worth it, then don't ask for them. If you think they are, go do Nyzul. It's not hard at all, you could trio all the climb. Nyzul is already noob friendly at this level, just requires time for the tags rule. You're just being lazy(and it's fine to be, just don't look for scapegoats).

just so we are clear i had nyzul 100. i'm not lazy nor looking for scapegoats. fact is servers being merged mean population is dwindling to find three people who still need nyzul and want to do it will become harder as time elapses

I'll give it a try and give you a feedback soon-ish Rydstrom about the Guillotine setup.
