There's a problem if your tier 3 spells are doing less damage than the 2 melee swings you'd probably make in that time. You should be able to do more than that.

=> implying Torcleaver and DRK/THF fixes DRK
it doesn't

Once again, taking what I said out of context to your own end. I was directly replying to someone who was asking for a JA to give DRK crit on the first hit of a WS.

Get torcleaver is a terrible way to fix DRK....GS is one of the more terrible DD emps, scythe being the worst.

To Therin: DRK is not good outside of Abyssea, with the addition of some nice AF3+2 and every job capping haste its getting left standing still in every zone in the game.

[Rezeak]

Since the 75-->90 additions SE has add nothing useful except endark but that fall null and void because it can't stack with some other additional effects like haste samba or the death proc on twilight.

Really my problem with what the Dev team is that in one hands they say "We're gonna encourage DRKs to use magic" then add something really useless like occult acumen then next update tactical parry my response to that kind of stuff is DON'T BOTHER i'd rather you add 1 good thing or nothing to DRK than 4-5 useless things.

Honestly if the dev team wants DRK to be a more solid magic user then they need spells that do a decent amount of DMG or spells that augment our WS/melee DMG enough for them to be worth casting.

And if thats too much effort then just fix our WS dmg and tweak souleater/last resort and give us some new Job ability or Job trait for our melee.

Really at the end of the day Absorb-TP/Drain I/II and stun is a good set of spells for a melee maybe put in a drain III and Terror and call it done for DRKs magic then lets us compete with other melees dmg wise.

You know what I find funny? The fact that the mods are blatantly ignoring the DRK forums. By ignoring I mean just not posting anything or shedding any light on these matters, I'm sure they're all reading these (they probably have to). But at least they step in on other threads to let people down, as SE has been doing for several years, even before FFXI. I guess we just can't get our hopes up about anything creative and interesting. Of course knowing DRK's misled reputation, they'd probably be afraid of everyone killing themselves from the disappointment.

Why should the dark forum get special treatment? Have you seen any developer interaction in the other job forums?

Only Drg and Cor have; Cor because one of its abilities is being worked on atm, and Drg because a thread was moved from general, that had an easy to answer question.

The devs are busy with more pressing issues at the moment I'm sure.



Cater to Darks who only recently became deficient? Or work on releasing new content and fixing jobs that need balancing more urgently?

And Darks only became deficient by proxy, because other jobs that were neglected for years finally got a boost.

Get some perspective...

Because DRK is obviously played by special people, such as yourself.

...wow you guys seriously made me not want to come back to the game now. lmfao wow....that's just heart breaking hahaha. well hopefully we can get some information shined on this situation. please mod's tell us if anything is being planned for drk?

[Anathiel]
