New Adjustments

[Unctgtg]

Duration of Last Resort will now last 3 minutes and a new JA that reduces the Amount of HP during Souleater at 45.

What do you think, its a start.

Start? You just got buffed by Eight circles of hell and I'm ignoring the Souleater adjustments when I say that.

No they weren't, they're still going to deal less damage than a dancer in abyssea. Which is bad, considering drk role is (or at least SE is trying to make them this, but failing) an all-out damage dealer, while DNC is a support/dd hybrid. It makes no sense that they are stronger than DRKs. In fact, it makes no sense that nin is a stronger dd than drk either.

Regardless, drk-underperformance is an imbalance caused by atmas. I say they should fix it through atmas as well. Outside of abyssea, DRK is still prettygood like it was before. Just add atmas that are almsot tailored for drk and the problem is gone.

Abyssea problems should be fixed in abyssea.

It's a start let's just hope they continue to boost us more till we are close to par with others.

All you need is an atma that enhances the things that drk needs, while also having a downside that will make it unattractive for non-drk, but won't matter for drk. Like an atma that decreases crit rate by 50% during weaponskills, but increased the general WS damage.

That's just an example. I don't pretend to know exactly how the atmas would need to be implemented, that's what we're paying SE to do. They have all the damage formulas, and even a test server to try it out before releasing. There has got to be a way to increase the power of single hit and/or non-crit WSes without letting the same atmas make multihit crit WSes a lot stronger in the process. Such an atma would not only help drk, but also for example sam, and a few other jobs.

Will play nice

you edited your post and now my old reply looked dumb

Well they did read our threads for what we wanted most was LONGER duration on Last Resort. Look at the SE and Job Adjustment threads. WE wanted it, we got it. LIKE I said its a start.

I am so happy that they made last resort 3 mins. The notes didnt say they were reducing the amount of ja haste from desprate blows (yet). If they dont this is really gona help us content with the other dds. We are gona have higher dps, we wont need hasso anymore, so now our magic recasts arnt as long when subing sam, unless using segian / third eye. More possable subjobs options, other than /sam most of the time. The soul eater job trait seems like a step in the right direction. Higher dmg from soul eater. I wounder if puting in muted soul would even futher help out when trying t keep soul eater active the whole 1 min.

As for abyssea, I would like if they did buff us, but Im not gona worry too much. It seems SE is going to lead us out of abyssea, and abyssea may turn out like how salavage einjair and ect are now, because of the new content aka voidwatch. Still, this is great news.

Abyssea is the past!!

DNC will go back to a below-average DD outside which is coming.
