I'm not sure if I should come back and play(a few pointers to SE)

One of the best I've ever seen is in my Dynamis shell and he solos stuff all the time, and not just weak stuff, but big NMs.

Oh, just out of curiosity, is there a reason I never see you guys using Drain/Aspir/Drain Acc/Drain TP? Because they seem tailor-made to prolonging your survival...

This is totally not what I have experienced. I could solo a dynamis mob drk75/nin with full buffs ready from a team, yes. But that is not "solo", and even after the fight you expect a big cures.

And how exactly does Drain help you solo(not EP)? while you are finished casting you are back down to where you started from but you are down one swing. These spells in solo are only to "open" with. No DRK in their right mind will stop mid-fight to cast abs-vit. Abs-TP works, but it's kinda broken, enemy still has TP after you cast and you will get hurt by their WS.

Dread Spikes II: 2min duration, 25% effective would be great with EnDrain

My reasons for quitting are valid and I won't return until SE fix DRK.
