The DD Balancing Game

[Greatguardian]

I want to dual wield guns on Corsair.

That is all.

SCH and BLM = I don't play SCH but my BLM can pull enmity with just 1 spell even at the end of the fight so enmity dynamics would definitely need an overhaul.

wait, you pull hate with one nuke...





judging you

thx for explaining the joke in that closing sentience.



but then wouldn't fervor ring that gives ifrit "magic attack bonus" not work then?

your saying that the avatar already has the mab trait without merits, so the trait given by that ring shouldn't be granted because ifrit already has it.

of course if it does stack that just means that se messed up the english translations on avatar bonus granting items. the ring should really say +4 mab.

...seriously? Isn't fairly common knowledge that every piece of armor in the game that says "magic attack bonus" is just MAB+? I mean, Uggy Pendant doesn't have a +value on it, but no one questions that it gives +MAB to blm...

THF is like ninja, but more damage.

lolwut? Also, no pup? Sure, pup can't keep up with godmodesam or ukon wars, but a good pup can keep up with most of the other DD jobs fairly easily. I mean you included thf. Everyone knows thfs don't do damage. (I'm mostly trolling thfs here, because I feel a sense of camaraderie towards their plight at the hands of the devs, since I'm a pup, and no one ever remembers that pups even exist.)

Sorry about the PUP neglect, I like the job myself but, as you said, I forgot about it ; ;(been forever since i've had a chance to play it ._.) but I stand by that fact that you quoted from me haha.

Coming with the new update BLU is able to drain 900+, which a DRK can only hope of doing.

I personally disagree with this as much as I would enjoy the prospect on 99BLU.

IF BLU can drain better than a DRK, then DRK should get something that nobody else can do.

Like....Drain-everything-from-yo-fayce.
HP/MP/TP+str/dex/vit/the works.

Balance the numbers so its not literally 12 spells at once.

But a BLU shouldn't be a better drainer than a DRK.

[Foldypaws]

A BLU can drain 900, once every 5 minutes, at the cost of *not* being able to do every other spell under that JA like double defense, or a 30% defense down + damage, or etc...

In that 5 minutes a DRK with no haste or fastcast gear could cast Drain 5 times and Drain II once. Without hindering their ability to cast any other spell like Absorb-TP or Dread Spikes. If you're not draining at least 150 with Drain, I suggest the problem is not with the job, but with you.

Coming from a 95DRK (played since 2004) and 95BLU (played since the day it came out), you are wrong. BLU is overpowered, and it seems like SE has been giving away all of the things that DRK begs for but get deemed "overpowered" to BLU for a long time.

The reason? BLU is an easy concept. DRK is more confusing, and they don't care enough about the job to be creative with it. I really think that's what it boils down to.

[Neisan_Quetz]

Aside from giving the defense down effect Drk won't lose to Blu on harder mobs, outside.

There's nothing overpowered about BLU, it suffers from the same shortcomings as any other 1 hander on harder mobs. It's like asking to balance Pld tanking on fodder.

Not to mention using Bloodrake also locks out lolTerror which only lands on fodder anyway.
