New Adjustments

[Atomic_Skull]

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.

With fully merited Last Resort outside haste and capped gear haste DRK will hit the 80% hard cap. Basically they will have the equivalent of three minute Hundred Fists with a DMG 131 weapon on a 4:10 timer.

I won't be expecting a crit hit WS after this because that would completely break the game now.

i'll allow it~

he said LR effect, not recast timer.

With the hp drained by SE being lowered this adds even more value to SE recast merits for outside abyssea.

Then again i've been spamming/riding SE for a very long time now thanks to apoc. So my case is a bit different.

[Rezeak]

It's not really about LR recast vs SE recast it's more about LR Effect vs SE Recast

If you choose LR effect over LR recast it's a mistake mainly because of this

Lets just say 1% attack = 1% DMG (it's not that clear but it's close enough)
and the haste doubles dmg with caped gear haste it should do this with 50% haste overall

so 5/5 Effect = +125%DMG for 180/300 = 75% increase in DMG
and 5/5 Recast = +115% DMG for 180/250 = 82% increase in DMG

So Recast > Effect always

So you should get Recast and all ur left with is LR effect vs SE recast nuff said.

o and btw if ya have magic haste on

Recast >>>>>> Effect

[Dart]

LR and SE recast > everything. for relic drk.

If your healer is capable for normal drk too.

ima have to say that just from eyeballing things getting recasts down will be the way to go, now my only issue is what if, if, we (non relic drk dart <_< so hush u) are suddnly having a need for diabolic eye ?
i dont see this happening plus there are ton of options out there but if ur a tanking drk do you remove diab. eye an put in with muted or what?
ive toyed with the idea of doing 5 desp.blows an 5 muted for awhile , basically since acc became a non issue, an this is making it look like the way to go
further thoughts?

[Rezeak]

Honestly D.Eye never impressed me the acc was ok sure but loseing 15% hp is a huge hit in survivability.

Either way if acc ever becomes a issue again i'll be eating Sushi or Pizza before i touch Diabolic eye.

[vedder]

dont think i even used it much tbh <_< just at that point in my ff career i was semi/backup/main tanking stuff

so im thinking 5/5 LR recast 5/5 SE recast 5/5 desp.blows an 5/5 muted soul

is this the general consensus?

[Raesvelg]

I'll wait and see just how much they reduce the HP loss in Souleater by before I make any major changes to my merits.
