Absorb-Speed

love how some ppl think the lr update is game breaking, its really not, good update and drk needed it but its not enough to push us into the higher tiers of the dd hierarchy atm, just gets us closer, but as more support is added the less influential it becomes as dart and kirschy have both noted

You're half correct. You're forgetting Souleater. If it becomes something we can use all the time, that's when our DPS will be really broken, especially outside abyssea. We'd be outdamaging everyone.

I love how some people like to put words in other's mouths. When in the hell did I ever say game breaking?
The fact is, with LR and desperate blows you're about to get pretty crazy outside of Abyssea (oh, you forgot content outside of Abyssea existed didn't you) and if this 'absorb speed' stacks with haste like many of you want, that'll be JUST LIKE this LR boost in that it'll become less influential with more support since with said support DRK can already reach the haste/attack speed cap so you gonna whine about that too?

That is part of the topic on how to balance it .... please read

If you have any ideas on how it should work post them(even if it is it shouldn't stack with haste and should be a lower potency) otherwise your missing the point.

Oh. Another person to use the word "whine." Really, the only whining I ever see is not from our discussions on topics, but people who come from nowhere and complain that we're trying to discuss it.

Or, in short, the pot calling the kettle black.

Also, I don't know if you noticed, but the "outside abyssea" argument barely holds any merit because it's assuming these new Voidwatcher NMs will be at all useful and if the Dynamis update will warrant more use out of the event. Otherwise, there isn't much of an "outside abyssea." As of right now, FFXI is Abyssea. So you can take your condescending attitude back where you came from.

I sure hope SE never listens to the DRK community if 'what's hot now' is the only thing people want to think about. Sure, Abyssea is what's in now but as they add new content, (and they will) unless we're getting the same buffs as we're getting in Abyssea... things are going to change. They can keep ping ponging us around all day or they can plan ahead and save time, effort and resources.
Guess which one most people would do.

Pretty much.

Just quoting you again to point out that, once again, you're wrong.

Why hello there, Atmacite!
