DRK Adjustments via Manifesto

[Rezeak]

I would like a reply as well.

As far as the update goes DRK wins imo another attack bonus, break and Absorb-Atr are all decent additions to DRK
I even believe DRKs DMG is top tier outside of abyssea.

My issue is Scarlet Delirium is there with tactical parry.

Other job all got under powered ja but at least they had some use
RDM 10 min instant cast .. ok duration is meh but when u use it has some effect
BLM 10 min free spell ... same
SAM 5 min tp bonus .... same
ect

Either way SE there are some many ways u could of given us an underpowered buff which has some use
Like 10 min recast ... Next WS converts 25-50% DMG -> HP or even MP
Scarlet Delirium ... Same effect as it is now but 5 min duration on a 15 min recast
Scarlet Delirium ... Same as it is now but allows up to 100% increase in magic DMG+Macc so that when u take hate u use it and once you taken a decent amount of DMG you use drains to offset it with SDs effect.

Scarlet Delirium as it is now imo is just DRKs second job emote

Man i wish SE would of add tp -> DMG thing cause i have a feeling they added Scarlet Delirium because of users feed back instead

Scarlet Delirium is MUCH better than that trash unless that was literally a huge increase in damage per hit.

But yeah, the duration needs a boost. 1 minute is just not enough.

They haven't touched weaponskills like Quietus, or if they did it's not noticable...

Hmm, well there's the chance that they haven't altered WS'es yet. Or that they changed one of our lesser used WS'es.

I'm actually hoping for another boost to Catastrophe damage with 95 Apoc since Mythics aftermath has been upgraded to occasionally attacks 2-3 times. Or some sort of boost to Apoc (and other relics) other than base damage especially since the didn't even get more attack/accuracy.

Not really even if tp->DMG was useless they would of been equal.
I really wanted to stack that with SE LR Aftermath lv 3

they finally fixed LR and made it what it should have been all along, the dev team is listening to us. So i'm hopeful that this will get fixed as well.

Scarlet Delirium i tested it a bit more today and here's the finding.

On use Effect that will last 1 min
Once you take any DMG you will gain the Scarlet Delirium which will last 1 min after that. (aka if you take DMG 30secs in you will get the Scarlet Delirium effect for 1 min after that 30 secs)
Any dmg after will add no extra DMG. ( mean if a mob hits you for 100 DMG ur looking at a 1% DMG boost for the entire effect)

It seems to be based off hp % lossed at 1% hp lossed = +0.4% DMG (very rough estimate)

All the testing info is on the DRK forum and it was done with elemental WSes but it follow what the Dev posted a while back.

I would like SE to answer how they thing DRK could use this u need to take a decent amount of DMG in one hit for it to be worthwhile.

So i guess when i said in best case your getting a 6% DMG overall i was wrong in most cases you'll prolly be looking at a 1% DMG boost.

My last suggestion on this....
If you want to keep it the same way SE make it so
SD Reduces DMG taken 50-100% for the 1 attack and you transfer the DMG to DMG%
Aka SD absorbs DMG taken for a DMG boost. (Work well with the Way drk is absorbing and such)

So you could use like this
Catus rdys 1000 Needles
DRK uses Scarlet Delirium
Catus uses 1000 Needles
DRK takes 0 DMG (and gain 10-20% DMG boost for 1 min)

This way the ability may not be great for dealing DMG but in cases where mobs use highly DMGing move DRK can use that agianst them and this i feel is what DRK is about ^^.

lol @ drk....

From lvl 8-0 SE didn't care. Dark is supposed to use DARK MAGIC so what does SE give them !!!!!?

ZOMG ELEMENTAL MAGIC TIER 3 YAAAAAAY and a lame job trait that gives a very small amount of tp just for casting that spell that just costed 1/3rd ur mp. If that doesn't prove what SE thinks about drk i dunno what is. Then oh wait!!!!!! a another useless JA. This Dev team makes me sick..

Honestly each update pld + drk get pooped on more, its almost as if they both should just be removed from the entire game.

Don't forget Tactical parry now

i'm sure it was 4:50pm on a friday when SE came to DRK the day they gave us tactical parry.

Tho i think DRK is a great job i just want anything that is added to be worth it even if it's rarly useful but SD doesn't help DRK do anything new or better and if ya don't believe me ask any WHM do u think a DRK should got get hit by a massive AoE to gain 10%-20% DMG for 1 min.... hell no but if SD negated the DMG then it would be the oppisite effect DRK could melee t4 VW NM for a short period in safety then once ya take DMG you can get a Decent WS(DMG boosted) off before waiting 3-5 mins till SD is rdy again.

[Zeroe]

This just honestly Sucks. Why is it so hard to give us good updates!? Seriously!

[Cljader1]

Maybe Scarlet Delirium purpose is to be used with Souleater, I heard Scarlet Delirium is based off of HP lost not damage taken. Try using it with soul eater i think we can lose half our hp with soul eater up
