I believe there are many who remember this.
We are currently looking to adjust Desperate Blows and Last Resort.

Currently, the haste cap for equipment and magic is the same for all jobs, but haste from abilities is a separate category outside of this cap, and Desperate Blows is the ability with the highest value of haste.

However, simply reducing the value of Desperate Blows would only cause dark knight to become weaker, so we are considering giving a portion of the total haste effect granted from Desperate Blows to Last Resort, and giving the remaining amount back to Desperate Blows.
  • Current
    • Desperate Blows +25%
  • Post-adjustment
    • Desperate Blows +10% (*Value with 5 merit points)
    • Last Resort +15%

Simply put, this adjustment will allow you to gain this effect in the case you use dark knight as your support job.

Could this be the thing DRG desperately needs? If last resort gives 15% bonus to haste that's more than hasso currently gives us and with all the benefits of DRK as a sub job over SAM. For example we would also get DRK's attack boost trait and access to soul eater.

I haven't ever considered DRK as a sub job for anything because it's always either sam for hasso and meditate/sekka, or war for their JA's. And I know that they're still the 2 best options but what do you guys think? Could /DRK with the new last resort be the fix we need? He also mentioned that it's difficult to imagine DRK as a subjob currently, so if they maybe expand a little more past the 15% haste to last resort and possibly lower the 3rd attack boost trait by a couple of lvls, then maybe it could come very close to /war but with the added 15% haste in every 3 out of 5 mins attacking.
