Bio III, can I has it.

[Yarly]

I don't know if a DRK can open a darkness skill chain, but if they can they could finish with a magic burst dark. Also, I don't know about drain... What happens when your HP is capped? Does damage still occur?

Yes drk can open darkness skillchain
yes drain still does damage

[Zatias]

Given his in-game presence, I doubt he's the troll type.

Did you just nitpick this single comment to defend this guy? XD And not even contribute to the argument? Have to ask why XP

[Alhanelem]

"Demi" CAN happen, it DOES NOT have to do damage equal to 1/4 of the mob's HP

It's not demi if it's not "% of target's HP in damage".

Just add a line of spells like the Banishes called Scourge, which is what said spelll is called in FFXIV. Banish and Scourge are equivelent, just opposing "elements."

[Sanjurio]

Just love how this creeper douchewaffle hasn't really said anything else in this thread...

YEAH GUYS WHY CANT DRK JUST REPLACE BLM AND NUKE SHIZZLES

enough of this stupid demi and bio talk Magic is stupid and needs to much to be worthwhile

attack boosts and DPS boosts or GTFO and quit DRK period

the same guys posting this shit bring it up very time they can on the DRK forum too, and we say Stfu every time.

I just want more Dark Magic than a job with the skill level a retarded goose.

Not really into nuking that much outside of wishful thinking or from a "logic" based on stats/skills standoint.

When I get Thunder III I'll get 30tp per nuke easily if we get new tiers of occult and moderate storetp + oneiros.

And that would be for initial pull, and niche uses, soloing, or ballista.

Yes drk can open darkness skillchain
yes drain still does crap/***/negligible damage

Yes.

And fixed.

Name me one merit spell that is in scroll form.

I hope somebody has said SOMETHING about Protect and Shell V.

Yes, not the same as Protectra and Shellra V (Group 2 WHM meritable spells) but then again those jobs don't get Protectra or Shellra I, II, III, or IV anyway.

Not saying DRK needs Bio III in anyway, but if it was given to them just reduce the potency or up the MP cost.

No more QQ.

Emo fanboys who like the armor but not the real job.

If you want a job that gets DPS and Attack boosts strictly, go play WAR. From the sound of it all you want is to turn the job into a Dark Warrior rather than a Final Fantasy Dark Knight.

Warrior gets the highest damage,
Monk gets the highest white damage (non WS damage),
Thief gets to steal stuff,
Dark Knight gets arcane magic (debuffs, Confuse, Break, etc.), and heightened damage at the cost of HP (although usually this comes in the form of an AoE command that costs HP.)
Beast Master gets pets,
Samurai (traditionally gets Auto-Kill attacks) FFXI SAMs are quite happy with TP generation,
Dragoon gets Jumps (although FFXI jumps are very different from FF jumps in that you don't stay in the air long),
Ninja (traditionally) gets throw,
Ranger gets Ranged Attacks (almost always LOL),
Dancer can dance while debuffing,
Blue Mage is actually nothing like FF Blue Mage, in that generally it's not a Melee Mage and just a Cool Thingy Mage.

If you wan't to break away from FF lore, I suggest trying a different game.

I believe that DRK should have spells that are actually worth casting, in that they are more beneficial than the MP cost + added time between swings.

REad that to yourself and say your not being a closed minded Idiot lore really?

nothing but that can happen at all? You're not even correct on a great deal of those jobs anyway and you say you want to stick to lore?

Lore is something Easily avoided in FFXI because it is very trivial and Making a Good Game is much more beneficial than sticking to lore so everyone can play a game that is the exact same.

lets just stop giving THf eva bonus and give tham Seal I-XVI than

DRK can be the new RDM

And RDM doesnt even exists anymore :O

really man strike back with a Logical reason Why DRK should get alllll of this stupid magic and how it will enhance the game in anyway.

in all forms also DRK is a DD in the way that WAR is and overall alot of the jobs are copys of eachother

Because the game Has different jobs doesn't make them all need to be different exps when it would puts them into the situational category. overall there a VERY few things that matter in this game to make jobs usefull And SE needs to fullfil them before they deal with all the stupid things that make sense in lore but are not practical in everyday use.

also i see you're a WAR.90 so lets just make WAR a tank than as the game Was lored to be? Would you like that as a main WAR? nothing put DEF gear and gim WS from now on we stickin to lore!

OHHHHH and i saw attack boost be mentioned. i forgot is that the one DRK gets 5 traits in ? oh yeah it is
