blood weapon needs a duration increase

[Ophannus]

Can make it DRK's version of Kick Attacks/Triple Attack/Treasure Hunter/Double Attack/Zanshin in that you have a 5% chance to add drain damage to your next attack so if you do a 200 damage swing it does a 200 damage drain(both restores 200 HP to the DRK and deals 200 darkness damage to the target). Obviously wouldn't proc on WS or on undead or things that resist darkness.

I would say have it a little higher than 5%(10% seems a little high for such a good trait, 7.5%?), but yes to everything else

Where do I sign?

Unless SE wants to do something like BW also activates the DRK version of Hundred Fists so we can get more than one or two hits before it wears. Now that I think about it, a BW/Hundred Fists hybrid would just be the best thing ever.

OH yeeeeaaaah!, Me MONK! Me SMASH with Blood Fists!!!! >

ô.o 10 hits would last a few seconds for me >.>. A good drk hits much faster than any other 2handded DD(unless they and other people are getting super buffed).

From what I hear, the BW enhancement from the relic+2 armor is only 10 seconds :< 30 seconds might be nice(making it 1min). BUT It's definitely not a very good 2hour anymore(or ever was imo). I personally want to have a straight up 200% Damage bonus(NOT Attack Bonus, straight up damage multiplication, which would be x3 damage at +200%). My justification is that DRK is supposed to be a Warrior's "upgrade". I'm not seeing that. War's 2hour more than doubles their damage(and it's more like x4 in abyssea or greater) so I think this is somewhat reasonable. Our 2hour is something along the lines of Souleater Utility, which is something we don't need.

I have the end all, be all answer to this... Upon activation of Blood Weapon, an additional effect of Dread Spikes activates. No lame math equations or silly calculations with relics (remember that many still aren't even close to that stage). So for 30 seconds, hit or be hit means you win

Dear Vana'Diel,
You're welcome.

blood weapon is not useless if you use it right. and blood weapon drains hp. drain=more damage. and if you combine that with souleater, and hitting for 400-600 dmg then your dealing 800-1200 dmg since you DRAIN hp. and it drains hp even if you have full hp. if you cast the spell drain even when you have full hp, you still drain it. you still deal the damage from the spell. you just dont gain anything from it. it's the same with blood weapon.

There's no extra damage

That's great for the 75+ crowd, but below that, DRK's are kinda boned. Then again, if a DRK is actually in a situation in which he/she needs to pop BW to begin with, they are either an idiot or have a terrible tank.

[Rewyen]

Ah yes.... GoV. The only place where a WHM/DRK wearing a Dream Robe in the Crawlers Nest isn't frowned upon.
