[dev1010] Dark Knight's Adjustments

[Karbuncle]

With our boosted Last Resort and Souleater, I don't think we'll need a crit WS. However, that all depends on how much HP loss there will be with Souleater active now. 5% or less would be significant enough.

Besides, a crit weaponskill is only needed to use with Razed Ruins to produce big numbers. There's a lot of new content coming outside of Abyssea. No Razed Ruins there. With that in mind, imagine a Last Resort/Souleater-powered DRK weaponskill like Torcleaver, Guillotine or Quietus.

We need a boost in Dark Magic now. The only thing WS-related I feel we need fixed is the modifiers. Especially for Quietus. STR+DEX over STR+MND please.

Also, it's Ignore Defense trait needs to be boosted. 10% chance at 100TP is kinda low.

Critical hit WS's are still powerful in and out, For the most part Raging Rush > King's Justice (outside of 2hour). Evisceration > Dancing Edge (most of the time. its close but with the right gear theres no question). Rampage > Everything else. Vorpal Blade > Swift/Etc, Drakes > Penta

Some of those are bad examples but i think you see my point . While you guys dont need a Crit WS at all, It would be a nice addition. Could simply adjust Cross Reaper or Guillo to be crit, Given their fTP it wouldn't be any more broken than Drakesbane.

Are you actually implying Raging Rush is Worse than KJ? Or Evis Is worse than DE?

I'm really quite confused. I'm only implying Critical Hit Weaponskills are still rather powerful, Inside or Outside Abyssea. If you're getting anything else from it, you need to take a look at your sig and take its lessons to heart.

I'm not implying DRK needs one to be good, I'm just commenting on the part that sure while they don't need one, A lot of basic Crit WS good before Abyssea are good After, and outside. Its not just Razed Ruins that made them Uber-Shine.

Inb4 Crit nerf next update

Inb4 Crit nerf next update

Intelligible conversation yet alludes you.

Are you now saying basically "They'll suck in the future because of this VIT-Crit.dmg Nerf"? The one we know nothing about? If so I can see where you're coming from. It worries me as well.

Somehow I still cling to hoping It won't nerf too hard, Or be a nerf at all, and just Effect players (Similar to "Fencer"). Or Perhaps further than it won't be as big as a Nerf as we think.

Or were you speaking of something else?

Either way, Probably better off with your best WS not being Crit based if thats the case. However WAR has KJ to fall on, and THF has Dancing Edge, DRG has Penta. Feel sorry for Rampage, So if you just had Crossreaper Crit'd, you still have Insurgency/Guil to fall back on!

Bright sides to everything.

I hope this isnt a nerf.

Edit: And you never answered my First Question. We're you just being a retard "Bandwagon Abyssea hater" Assuming that i was speaking only on behalf of Abyssea or implying i was "Abyssea bred" in regards to how Critical hit Weaponskills can be powerful inside or outside, Especially in this era of armor with a lot of Crit-Dmg+Gear and now Job Traits, That they are more powerful than they once were. That someone I didn't know what life is like outside Abyssea? You just confused me

Dancing edge > evi

DE has higher mods and Ftp....

KJ is in the same boat having better Ftp and mods....

im glad you like to crit and shit but without the +30% crit damage they are behind the weaponskills ppl used before abyssea..

ppl used them over the other weaponskill for a reason...

Dancing Edge does have higher mods, However Evisc can crit, and will Average higher numbers. Especially with the 5% Crit job trait, Loki's Kaftan, and the Tathlum with Critdmg+3%. It pulls ahead in average with proper gear. Before Abyssea it was worse, but only by a little because of the randomness of Crit. Now we have more Crit+ gear, and CritDMG+Gear, it pulls ahead.

Raging rush has always been better than KJ since before abyssea, it was always a close call, but due to RR's Crit ability it came ahead unless you had Mighty Strikes up. It was again, Very close call, but RR usually averaged bigger number.

Before Abyssea though, yeah, DE was better than EV, Afterwards we have new job traits and gear that make Evisc pull ahead.

Lol, Oh god. I just. Wow.

KJ is 1.0|1.25|1.5 fTP 50% STR
RR is 1Ftp 35% str...

with out the +30% KJ wins.... because crit rate is only 34% at 100% tp (not counting gear) ........
