Dark Knight - Why do we have Tactical Parry?

[Urteil]

Seriously, why do we have this worthless trait that makes zero sense?

Doe the Dev team plan to boost our parrying skill to A+?

Can we please get a response, because this is one of the most baffling things in FFXI to date.

Many of us believe it to be a sick joke.




Why didn't you give us Magic Attack Bonus I instead of a job trait that is 100% worthless?

Can we have Magic Attack Bonus since you want us to cast magic so much?

DNC Has tier IV with only B ranking Parrying. SE are just handing out traits to the wrong jobs.

Okay so parry has been around for as long as the game and it always did nothing but block an attack.
Now it gives 2 TP or more depending on STP gear while still blocking.

Are complaining that it doesn't give 100Tp?
I dont understand what the problem is.

I parried once on DRK.

I parried once on DRK.

I have yet to parry myself , however, on drg.. izz da bomb for parrying which for some reason SE didn't give them TP.

While what you're saying is technically accurate it's still completely nonsensical to give to DRK when #1 the job needs so much more, and #2 DRK isn't particularly well known for our parrying.

Same reason Rdm has Shield Mastery

SE is just trolling both.

I actually get a lot off use out of my parrying haha~ I frequently tank on drk and somehow i parry quite often. 2-3 times/mob that's attacking me

I break Latent Effect trial weapons on Light elementals in sky and that sounds about right, i get good use of it specially since i'm casting a lot, maybe you other guys need some skill ups....

Whats nonsensical is complaining about a little extra bonus they added to DRK that only helps with TP gain.
You cant cast and swing but you can sure as hell cast and parry so whats the big deal...

[Neisan_Quetz]

Pretty sure the issue is Drk parries at the same rate as Bard, Mnks not using H2h, and (again) Rdm.

Even Puppetmaster has a higher Parrying skill for only SE knows what...
