We should have a death spell line up, it make no sense to have it on twilight scythe and not have it function exactly the same but in spell form. This would be a very nice aspects of the job and increase the appeal on entrophy.

IMO "Added Effect: Death" should be a Job Trait at 99. Obviously low proc rate, maybe 5% at the most. Also Blood Weapon should be a Job Trait, not our 2 hour. Possibly 10% proc rate, with the ability to merit it for more procs.

Then again if they did this they'd have to program the game so En- effects don't over write each other, which ain't gonna happen.

Well since we have entrophy, SE needs to make dark magic worth a damn. We have a -A in dark magic skill and the second highest skill in elemental magic yet our spell selection is so so so crappy. Dark Knight should be a job that augments its melee prowess through the use of magic, and devastate enemies with destructive dark magic.

I like the concept of a dark based nuke that has a chance to inflict doom or death (be it a low percentage and only on non nms) however the name won't work because death is already a spell in the game. Two names I've seen brought up before that I think would be better are Darkness and Unholy. On the whole I completely support the idea of having dark based nukes with death/doom effects, however I would prefer we DRKs to get them earlier and scale up through the levels. I would also like to have unique elemental nukes that also have debuffs on them that scale with dark skill, for instance a fire based nuke with att down on it, thunder based nuke with acc down, earth based nuke with def down etc...

All in all good suggestion, now lets wait 10 years for SE to read and acknowledge it.

I'm sure it'll be about as effective as Break has been.

100% support all of this haha. I also personally like my idea for a new 2hr for drk, I've posted it a few times in several other places so it shouldn't be hard to find. but basicallyy x2-x3 dmg for the duration that mighty strikes has.

[Cljader1]

I woud like any darkness based nuke really, but the touch of death would be a very perk too add to the feel of the job. Furthermore, we should get a zerg JA that removes the penalty for soul eater maybe making is 30 duration on a 5min or 10 minute timer.

SE would do as follows:

Death: Deals Darkness damage to the enemy, Occasionally causes KO. (activation rate: 10%)
DRK 99

Cast Time: 10 seconds
Recast : 6 minutes 66 seconds. (possibly)
MP Cost: 666 (This is actually in the .DATs)

Personally I'd prefer:

Grim Strikes (JA)
While under the effects of Grim Strikes your attacks will occasionally cause Doom, Plague or KO.
DRK 75 (20% Plague - 15% Doom - 10% Death)
Duration: 3.00 - Recast: 5.00

Vampiric Strikes (Trait)
Occasionally converts damage dealt to HP.
DRK 50 (10% activation)

If this is the way the death spell exist in the .dats files, it should be able to work on all mobs including nms. The reason why is because the mp cost is extremely high (almost double the mp cost of comet) and the recast is 7 mins with a 10% death success rate. The spell should effect all mobs, and be drk only. It'll pose a challenge for drk to get that spell off since its has a extremely high mp cost and 10 second casting time. I think this form of the spell warrants the 10% chance of instant death on all mobs considering the challenge it is for a drk to get it off.

I don't even have to say anything to this to point out how absurd this is.

The spell effects he is suggesting are just suggestions, and the MP cost and probably cast times are the only things that are actually in the Dats. Personally, if it is a spell that has those attributes, you might as well just cast Impact, because the likelihood it will have a good proc rate is low.

Damage with the occasional Death proc is the better idea by far. Having a reasonable MP cost, cast time, and recast would all be nice too, and I don't think we should loose sight of that for an unreasonable thought that SE is going to let people oneshot NMs after years of fighting speed kills. Basically, the uselessness of a low proc Death spell (which, what else could you expect) is pretty much made moot by the darkness damage that wouldn't just be "lolimmune" by NMs just because they are NMs.
