DRK magic, what do we really want?

[Kury]

maybe have been mentioned befor and im not sure where to post it but maybe someone will read this and post it more appropiatly.

drk needs the spells that appose holy 1 and holy 2, such as demi 1 and demi 2 or bring Gavija back from the older ff games!
i like Demi better though, a darkness based nuke with the same casting time and either same damage or greater damage then the holy spells

also maybe a ability that apposes souleater, but uses mp instead. either consumes mp like souleater does hp or just dumps your mp onto your next attack. something along those lines would give entropy greater use for a drk rather then sticking them strictly to reso for dmg.

just some thoughts plz post em in a more apropiate place is ya know of one

It was mentioned but id love to see abs-mdt, ptd, and speed spells introduced. A version of holy for dark magic would be cool too, since that generally is a fast cast. Personally i would rather see SE add a way for us to use our mp to increase our physical dmg. If i wanna nuke there are jobs more suited. Give me selfbuffs or even debuffs worth casting or dont bother.

Selfbuffs.... with no enhancing skill.

Dark Magic or DRK magic spells as a whole?

DRK should definitely have it's own version of Fast Cast/Elemental Celerity. Could be called Quickened Shadows, a trait that increases castingn speed based on your dark magic skill without affecting recast timers.

An alternative would be to make all Dark Magic native to Dark Knight have Stun's casting time.

------

If you were talking DRK spells as a whole, then my suggestion would be revamp the elemental nukes to work as follows:

Job Trait
Arcane Ruin: Changes your elemental magic spells to short cast, low damage enfeebles that boost Absorb spells.

Tier I spells take one second to cast. Tier II spells take 1.5 seconds to cast. Tier III spells take 2 seconds to cast. Each spell would deal 10% of the maximum damage it would normally do and inflicts the target with the debuff <Element> Ruin that takes effect so long as the elemental spell does damage. Each elemental spell makes its corresponding absorb spell unresistable and boosts the amount of the stat absorbed. Ruin I would boost it by 25%. Ruin 2 would boost it by 50%. Ruin III would boost it by 75%.

Example:

Casting Fire III on a mob gives that mob Fire Ruin III. The DRK follows this with Absorb-STR. The amount of STR drained via Absorb-STR is boosted by 75% while consuming the Ruin III effect.

-----

On the topic of stun, Stun II wouldn't do much for us outside of being something else to stun with when stun and weapon bash are on cooldown. I just think the devs should focus on making what we currently have actually work in our favor before adding anything new.

Selfbuffs.... with no enhancing skill.

We have a couple self buffs. They are dark magic skill. Kinda like how blu self buffs don't require enhancing skill either. Smn, same deal. Was never a rule written that said all buffs have to be enhancing magic, even if most are.

As a final spell, drks should get death, but that wont happen.
Instead they should be given Contagion.

on the job bio pages on the wiki, it says that DRKs have black magic that is used to torment our enemies http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/wiki/Category%3AJobs

Annoy does not equal torment in the least. Plz fix SE
