In terms of raw Damage Drk/Sam is the best possible combination, there is no if ands or buts about it. Drk/Mnk is simply just a means to allow you to tank harder NMs that you normally could not /Sam, while playing Drk and not having to give into other jobs. Drk/Mnk in no way compares to /sam in any way shape or form in terms of raw Damage, its simply a means to stay alive.

So if you are only dealing physical damage you are doing it wrong? You do realize casting spells of any kind (absorb TP included) during your TP phase is an utter waste and only hinders your over all damage. I have a complete Dark Magic Set, Mixed haste/Dark magic set, a Full out Nuking set, enfeebling set and god knows what else for Drk. But if I am meleeing I am not going to waste my time and use either of it. My DRK would blow your mind with how complicated my Spell Cast XML and Gear sets actually are, I take the job well beyond your level of comprehension. I have seen your DRK (awesome plastron) and there is nothing impressive about it whatsoever.

I happen to take DRK very seriously, mainly because its such a god awful job compared to others, so you absolutely cannot half ass it. So whats the point of playing it if you arent playing to be the absolute very best?

I consider your thinking and I look at it, but then realize instantly its flawed. Why is it flawed? Because its not the most optimal perfect way of doing things. Good players in FFXI have a tendency to find out the very best possible way of doing something and then they stick with it. Why? Because it outclasses everything else.

Most of the information you spit out is crap without even being able to back it up, and you honestly wonder why I insult you?

Seriously stop trying to be Different, Different does not = Better. Anyone with half a brain can tell you that.
Damn gradd makes me feel stupid some times, replied to that in a way i couldn't have ;-; i agree tho this is how it is
