Blood Weapon

Reduces weaponskill cast time and recast time, spell cast time and recast time, and auto-attack delay by 10% and converts physical damage dealt into MP, while reducing weaponskill TP cost by 20%. Also increases Blood Gauge by 3 each time a physical attack lands.
Duration: 15s
Cannot be used while under the effect of Grit. Effect is canceled if Grit is activated.

It just occurred to me that our spell cast times are reduced during BW. Does this mean we’ll be able to spell cast black magic in the future?


Final Fantasy 7 crisis core had dark versions of elemental spells that’d inflict Poison, Stop, Silence, and Death.
Hell Firaga
Hell Blizzaga
Hell Thundaga

Final Fantasy 5’s Necromancer “Dark Arts” ability
Meltdown - Fire based magic that inflicts “Sap”
Deep Freeze - Ice based attack that inflicts “Stop”
Choas Drive - Lightning based attack that inflicts “Paralysis”

I just hope it’s not a Holy/Fell Cleave spam type ordeal.

That’s an instant cast. Did you read the post?

How many castime weapon skills do you have?

What are you getting at? DRK doesn’t have any, but that doesn’t mean it can’t exist. I.e samurai.

Arrow's description
Reduces weaponskill cast time and recast time, spell cast time and recast time, and auto-attack delay of a party member or self by 10%.

Fey Wind
Reduces weaponskill cast time and recast time, spell cast time and recast time, and auto-attack delay of self and nearby party members by 3%.

Greased Lightning
Increases damage dealt by 10% and reduces weaponskill cast time and recast time, spell cast time and recast time, and auto-attack delay by 5%

It's just the standard description for a Haste Effect.

Haste is an effect already in the game. https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/C...:Status_Effect
And that’s not the description sooo...

The same site describes Greased Lightning as:


Grants Greased Lightning
Increases damage dealt and attack speed.

So are you sure you want this to be your line in the sand?

I suppose it would be interesting to see DRK get some kind of magic casting spell in the future, something akin to PLD's Holy Spirit. Although one dark magic spell wouldn't cut it to so a couple really would be better as PLD as Clemency as well.

Well supposedly DRK is (don’t quote me on this) getting reworked in 6 months. (Expansion most likely) I think spell casting rotations would be an interesting avenue to explore.
