DRK Adjustments via Manifesto

[SpankWustler]

I don't play Dark Knight and I doubt I ever will, but reading about that stuff brought a state of partial turgidity upon me.

Useful magic and abilities that remain within the theme of the job. Perfect. I can only hope the enhancements for jobs I actually play are similar to this.

[Unctgtg]

Based on everyone’s feedback, we will be making the below adjustments during the upcoming version update.

Readily Rearm* Lv95
Converts damage received into attack power and magic attack power.

Absorb-ATB* (absorb attributes)　DRK Lv91
Absorbs an enemy’s beneficial status effects.

Additional magic that can be learned:

Blizzard III　DRK Lv92
Break　DRK Lv95

We tested it out…
Readily Rearm*
　→After taking approximately half of your current HP in damage, your damage output increase by over 20%!
　　(This is also reflected in weapon skills it seems)
　　Additionally, while under the effects there is no decay over time)

Absorb-ATB* (Absorb attributes)
　→Used in conjunction with Nether Void you are able to absorb two status effects.

Just in case, we confirmed with the lead dev. once more and he said that they are finalizing the adjustments, but as long as there are no major problems it will be implemented as stated. Yay!

(*Please note that names and descriptions are under development and are subject to change.)

First you bring me Vanilla Ice, now you bring me even greater tidings. Are you the Drk Knight Angel?

Also doing that and another 20% in WS damage on my relic WS, I do approve and probably another 25-50% damage increase from the Trials, OH MY.

Absorb-ATB* (Absorb attributes)
　→Used in conjunction with Nether Void you are able to absorb two status effects.

Oh my oh my oh my

If that absorb attribute works really well then considering aura steal already does too can you look into buffing the accuracy of voracious trunk? Never works.

Doesn't Osmosis do the same thing, but also drains HP?

[SpankWustler]

Yeah, Osmosis is basically Voracious Trunk +1. It still has accuracy issues compared to most spells and abilities that remove effects, but it has normal spell-casting range rather than near-sighted Blue Magic range.

It beats Aura Steal, though. Aura Steal loses by default thanks to the five minute timer.

Edit: The main concern I foresee with Absorb-ATB would be casting time, since it's both used to dispel and used by Dark Knight. Hopefully it will have a very short casting time, regardless of the recast.

[Leonlionheart]

casting time is what would bother me honestly, since it has a large factor on DPS, which is DRK's main attraction.

[Frost]

All welcome updates, but a little concerned with Readily Rearm, will this be a stance like hasso/seigan/misery? Or will it be a 30 second duration ability where you'd only really benefit if you had it up when you got nailed by chance?

I have many, many names.
