[dev1049] New weapon skills

[Alhanelem]

Probably. the MP recovery is nice, but they don't really give a rats behind how much it gives back. All they want is more damage. DAMAGE DAMAGE DAMAGE. IM A DARK KNIGHT I KILL THINGS RAAAWR

Oh Boy! Now I can suck even harder at dark knight! Ty SE... Do you even read the forums???

They've got to be reducing the attack nerf of Resolution and Blade: Shun. If they make Resolution 5 hits and .75 base fTP without an attack penalty, it will still be better than it is now.

We will be making adjustments so that the amount of MP recovered will be within a range.
There will be cases where the MP recovered will be higher or possibly lower than now, but we are planning to adjust this so that the average will not change by much.

Funniest thing I've read all day. Thanks!

Seriously..... I don't even play Dark, and that made me want to throw my monitor.

Why on earth do SE hate DRK so much? It's like they don't even listen to us. Sorry, this will be a ranty post but getting seriously fed up with the DRK situation now.

We do not care about the MP recovery on Entropy. It's fine as it is or even a little lower than it is now. But we absolutely need it to be stronger damage wise. Not MP recovery wise but damage wise. At the minute you have given us absolutely zero worthwhile Scythe weaponskills for damage. Why are we stuck using a 3.875 25% STR, 25% MND WS for damage whilst every other DD job gets a far superior WS for damage?

And Resolution change will depend on how much they lower the modifier of the first hit but should be better than it is now. But why oh why do you mention the modifier being the same for all hits like it's a good thing? Making the modifier apply to all the hits makes it worse than if it only counted for the first hit at 100% TP. Even with Belt/Gorget it's worse (assuming it's 0.75 mod) because you have to give up Neck + Waist in order to make it even with if the modifier was first hit only. It's only ever going to be beneficial if you are sat on TP.

It's like the dev team don't even understand how their own game works at times.

Did i just hear all the dark knights /sigh at once and then die?

??? from the sounds of it this will make the GS ws stronger.

Man proposes, but God blocks the game.

That aside, any change to the horrifying attack penalties to Resolution and Blade:Shun will be an improvement. I somehow doubt whatever drawback the Development Bros can come up with can be on par with -40-ish% Attack at 100% TP.

It warms the cockles of my cockles that these weaponskills will not be part of any deranged proc system. Thanks for letting us know that!
