They could have made dragoon wyvern still be 2 it's hour and your weapon skill option still be penta thrust. That would have given you a reason to not be here talking about how darks emo over idiotic ideas implemented to dark.

I believe it is quite obvious all dark knights have no clue how to play other jobs and we center our knowledge based solely on dark knight experiences alone <sarcasm>. I find this amusing that other jobs suggest we TRY out a job ability/JA/etc to understand it's potential before we can talk about it's effectiveness being complete shit for most things used in game.

The whole idea of occult accumen was to partially offset the disadvantage of the time spent casting a spell versus the melee swing or two you could have gotten off instead. Occult accumen doesn't just apply to the elemental nukes, drain and drain II also give TP and odds are you do use these spells if not any others. DRK gets more tiers of it in a futile effort to get DRKs to use their magic more (and also to take into consideration the lower MP costs of even the most costly DRK spells compared to SCH and BLM). Basically, casting damaging spells gives the enemy TP, so why not give the player some.

(I also didn't consider that impact works with it- I actually find the thought of that pretty amusing :P Not to metnion the fact that it could also help the damage of that WS slightly, because impact lowers the enemy's attributes)

Scarlet Delirium IS A GOOD JA!

No its not good on Fodder content, it is excellent on harder content like VW.

Sure, if you get hit by a 1000 AoE you can get a sizeable bonus out of it. The problem is you have to jump through hoops to make use of it. It's too hard to use for what it does.

Fixed that .

Sorry, guys. Souleater and Last Resort are just too strong. We did not realize that situational JAs would look piddly next to them. Our mistake. We'll just nerf Souleater and Last Resort so the relative power is more fair.

Play Better. SD is on a 3min timer, when timed right 30%+ HP of damage it gives a very noticable boost to damage.

While you complain about SD and DRK in general I'll be tanking T3 VW mobs. A boost is a boost. As a career DRK I can appreciate in the small boost. (and sometimes large in this case)

[Chriscoffey]

Taint you act like you have some sort of great credentials over the rest of us. I don't like the fucking ability when compared to other jobs easily used abilities without it being tied to a "do or die" situation so I voice that concern. That has nothing to do with me playing like shit or the fact I can't hit a macro at the proper time like I do with stun or weapon bash. I wish people like you would lose that bit of nonsense that we must suck at timing to complain about SD's use in special situations.

All right. I accept that as long as they remove the empyrean weapon skills that have been added for all jobs and abilities/updates added since abyssea. I will be quite content. I can cap out haste either way with apocalypse so doesn't hurt me in the slightest HOWEVER it does put a hurt on most jobs WS potential and DOT.

[Greatguardian]

o ok. You're mad because DRK didn't get Impetus.

Kay.

Keep on ignoring the strengths of your job and comparing its weakest (?) ability to the strongest abilities of other jobs.

Meanwhile, I'll keep wishing I had a Berserk+HasteSamba+1 combo that I can keep up 60% of the time.

[Chriscoffey]

No I am just fine. I said i was fine with the lowering of souleater and last resort if all other jobs abilities/updates and weaponskills added since abyssea could be taken away. It would far more hurt your jobs than it does dark considering the epic fail shit they gave us besides those two. I would go as far to say it would probably help with this easy mode killing that FFXI fell into after those changes.
