[Suggestion] Job Ability +50% Weapon Delay and Weapon Damage

[Madawc]

This ability will add 1.5 times more delay and 1.5 times more damage to your weapon. I am thinking about having this as a "melee stance" so the duration will be 2hrs and recast 30 seconds. Paired with another "magic stance" ability or some other sort.

The DPS will remain EXACTLY the same with any amount of Haste.

However TP gain goes from 13.9 to 20.85 (no rank considered) per hit. That makes a 513 scythe a "natural" 5-hit instead of 8-hit, which is 51,3 seconds between each WS instead of 59.85 seconds between each WS, at 0% Haste. The WS rates actually increases given that TP gain is scaled 50% up also.

This will overall give us higher WS rates and a huge bonus to WS damage.

Don't be discouraged that this will only "slow down DRK even more" because the differance between a 513 delay scythe and a 769,5 at 65%+ Haste is not that much of a nuisance.

As a bonus; it will be more easy going playing DRK in this mode. You can use spells between swings much more efficiently.

Oh, joy, another ridiculous idea. Can't you go play some other Final Fantasy game, preferably not XIV? If you hate Final Fantasy XI so much, then just leave it alone. Ideas like this, quite frankly, suck. This will not help at all. With a number like 50%, I doubt you even did the math on it all.

I thought it over and I think that istead of 1.5 times damage, it may even be as much as 2 times more damge with only 1.5 more delay. This way it will be a raw 50% DPS buff, if that is what you wish for.

No thx.
Sorry it just seems a really boring idea that will do very little for DRK.

Holy crap, a Jeff Dunham reference. +5 respect points. Seriously.

I can understand what he's saying and it's not a bad deal tbh. Notice he stated his tp gain? If his is like that and it raises another 7 points then you can eventually build a pretty good scythe damage build and not worry so much about mob tp on mobs you really don't wanna feed TP unless it's dark damage based. I love fire so feel free to flame me for stating that. So far with a haste build my drk can see some pretty low delay and with a GS so there's no reason i can't get a higher delay higher tp build.

The other side to it is that with a store tp + occult accumen build you get the same exact tp as your GS in haste gear (if you get some fastcast going then you can nuke mobs, run in tp, remove yourself from battle and wait for meditate to return. IIRC most fights you sit out until triggers are landed then you go in. The build he's mentioning doesn't apply to this common form of play plus i wonder how much damage he'll pull with his apoc with this.

It's a bad idea and you should feel bad defending it. Mob TP gain is based on your delay+3 before subtle blow/Agi is considered last I checked so this does nothing for reducing TP gain...
