Oh you caught me testing a grip my bad, you probably need to stop using FFXIAH as a means to attack people and get a new venue to do so, it doesn't update at the quickest of speeds.

I was seeing just how high my VIT could get for fun but when combined with the other dbl% gear of course the pole grip wins.


The condescending statement was based on his attitude about Endark which is rediculous and I brought his gear into it because what is he going to do? Tell me more stupid crap about how endark is retarded? I probably shouldn't have brought gear into it, oh shucks!


That Jelly ring looks real nice man, real nice,that slow +5% gear which I'm sure you're TPing in. RIGHT? RIGHT?

Back to reality. . . because that was riddled with sarcasm and I know you aren't doing any of that because I have read your posts.

I have a fancy pole grip too, real hard to get. . .(more sarscam) I main it 99% of the time. Its pretty much the best grip for pretty much everything PvE related, on that note - Kick fucking ass Jelly ring man.


Next are you going to see me in my Ballista gear which I idle in sometimes whilst standing in Jeuno and say something retarded like "lol lose the reign grip man, its bad for TP."





Don't defend him.

What he said was pants on head retarded, and if all you have against me is some type of gear argument you've already lost.

Regardless Gradd I have immense respect for you, don't let some kind of buddy buddy feeling get in the way of logic.

[Gradd]

I honestly just skimmed through it, I don't care about either scythe, all I really read was you bashing his gear <.<

Carry On!

[Urteil]

I don't really care about either scythe either.

Why am I even posting here.

[Gradd]

Caladbolg for normal stuff! Bahamut Zaghnal for !! procs!

I've been using the 2-4 magian scythe for proc !!, and /dnc shenanigans on DRK. Its sort of cool if you run an infernal scythe build with cosmos/ultimate/hell's guardian or are soloing, because endark gets to 90+ a swing (I don't think the bonus from cosmos affects attack.) NV Drain II gets to about 1200+

With infernal scythe doing 2200+ on normal mobs, sometimes you get about 70% tp an attack round, and 300+ endark damage.

But I've been using the MDB scythe on some low man magic intensive shit where I know I can keep hate with shit guillotine.

Caladbolg just poops on anything 'normal'. Sort of gross how inferior it makes everything else.

I'd like to remind you that Last Resort's potency can exceed Berserk's starting with your first merit point upgrade into "Last Resort Effect." Thus, a longer duration's just fine.

check wiki... LR's default is about 15%... merits add a total of 10% meaning it's pretty much equal to Berserk in effect ONLY after merits...

In terms of overall effectiveness, yeah. I was pointing solely at potency while it was in effect, in which case Last Resort with even one merit in LR Effect makes it beat Berserk.

Do you even have any other 2handed jobs leveled? anything that doesnt have a crit weaponskill is behind but asking for one is like asking for an empy weaponskill to be handed to us.

I have hours of parses on WAR SAM and DRK with very small gear differences that say DRK and SAM are about equal in all aspects(DRK alot more melee damage while sam tips to weaponskill damage) while war has about the same melee damage but way stronger weaponskills(ONLY inside abyssea).

I didnt use empy weaponskills or anything to test but from what i see DRK is not THAT far behind WAR and the only shortcoming atm is the crit weaponskill.

from this it seems obvius that DRK would need a crit weaponskill to DD like a WAR can but i dont think that should just be handed to us maybe making insurgency crit but im not even sure that wouldn't be above our current empy weaponskils inside abyssea.

First you claim you can outpace most melee jobs, then...

Why would the War have hate to get retaliation to even work.. <_<

wish there was a good war on my server.. i havn't lost a parse in months.. QQ

...this. You shouldn't brag about your parses when you aren't up against good players. It makes you look like retarded trash. Just saying.

The condescending statement was based on his attitude about Endark which is rediculous and I brought his gear into it because what is he going to do? Tell me more stupid crap about how endark is retarded? I probably shouldn't have brought gear into it, oh shucks!

You should check this out.

[Rayik]

No wonder SE won't give DRK a good update; we're all assholes.

[vedder]

LMAO rayik best post in past three pages !

[Sedres]

Yeah, it's kind of hard for ME to take this topic seriously anymore, nevermind some SE developer.

If anyone feels DRK doesn't need an update, why post in here, in fact, why post in here when you're THE ONLY ONE HERE that shares your point of view? I think we all know the answer there.

So, we have:
*melee/magic stances (but for the Love of All that is Holy stop suggesting the magic stance should Gimp melee or we would never use it)
*abs-STAT spells for !!

[Sedres]

And can't edit post, but yeah, some kind of WS or ja that makes up for our lack of crit WS (giving us a cit WS seems kinda half arsed, I think making razed ruin affect all aspects of melee physical damage regardless if its in the WS description or not would be simpler. Those without a frog WS would spike higher, those with a cit WS would spike more often.
