On the way to 99 DRK got two levels of tactical Parry and Scarlet Delirium, with a kind nod to Nether Void and Endark.



RDM is fine, it is a job that serves many functions adequately. Some far better than it should for having access to all that it does.
Lol they made LR 3 minute duration and made DRK a top tier DD. You're right, DRK got nothing. As other people have pointed out, AO is going to be more useful in the future because they are changing Elemental magic for everyone. Good thing DRK has max levels of that trait and RDM has exactly 0 and can wear a belt or /DRK if they want to touch it.

If you were going to complain about how much RDM got you could at least site it's actual buffs. Temper, Healing Magic Adjustments, and Elemental Magic adjustments that are incoming. Only one of them is RDM specific. RDM is a good job, but don't try to pretend it got more than DRK did. Anyone that plays DRK now (bandwagon most likely) is because DRK got all sorts of goodies that make it very viable as a replacement for the role that WAR and SAM used to dominate.

That being said, I fully support Dark based nukes and FC for those Dark Based nukes. I say FC for dark based nukes because DRK recasts are terrible. Absorb spells are terrible utility and SHOULD be adjusted. You are getting magic buffs with the upcoming change to elemental magic, but it's not the custom tailored adjustment you were hoping for, which scares you because SEs rate of job adjustment is very slow. DRK and RDM are in similar boats in this regard because they have good things on their job; but other things, specifically job defining things that were 75 Era, are very broken and/or useless.
