[dev1049] New weapon skills

[Byrth]

They've got to be reducing the attack nerf of Resolution and Blade: Shun. If they make Resolution 5 hits and .75 base fTP without an attack penalty, it will still be better than it is now.

Why on earth do SE hate DRK so much? It's like they don't even listen to us. Sorry, this will be a ranty post but getting seriously fed up with the DRK situation now.

We do not care about the MP recovery on Entropy. It's fine as it is or even a little lower than it is now. But we absolutely need it to be stronger damage wise. Not MP recovery wise but damage wise. At the minute you have given us absolutely zero worthwhile Scythe weaponskills for damage. Why are we stuck using a 3.875 25% STR, 25% MND WS for damage whilst every other DD job gets a far superior WS for damage?

And Resolution change will depend on how much they lower the modifier of the first hit but should be better than it is now. But why oh why do you mention the modifier being the same for all hits like it's a good thing? Making the modifier apply to all the hits makes it worse than if it only counted for the first hit at 100% TP. Even with Belt/Gorget it's worse (assuming it's 0.75 mod) because you have to give up Neck + Waist in order to make it even with if the modifier was first hit only. It's only ever going to be beneficial if you are sat on TP.

It's like the dev team don't even understand how their own game works at times.

Seriously..... I don't even play Dark, and that made me want to throw my monitor.

This has been going on for years now. This same sort of thing. They give dark knights updates but the LR update was the only one that even made some progress for them. I find it sad that they update LR that much and the job is still behind most other melee by an extreme measure. I can't believe that much of an haste/attack buff still doesn't put dark in the same ball park as other jacked up melee. That should tell you just how broken the jobs are at this point.

LR does put you in the same ballpark if you get haste and attack buffs (you attack at hundred fists speed with a Great Sword) but DRK will always get put in the "short bus" party with THF and BLU because nobody cares.

Did i just hear all the dark knights /sigh at once and then die?

??? from the sounds of it this will make the GS ws stronger.

That was in regards to the Scythe WS.

I do think they're adjusting Blade: Shun and Resolution to be similar to Stardiver though.
