Wild Idea - Change DRK damage from Slashing to Magic + Give Resistance Down Debuff

[Ladon]

Or they could just make it blunt damage and make Delirium exactly like Dragon Kick and cancel each other like Storm's Eye and Dancing Edge. I think that greatswords would be more accurate to be listed as blunt damage. I don't think you can really cut off things with a giant claymore (it's not a katana), but you surely break bones and rip off entire body parts. Plus, we still have only one blunt damage job.

Well the fact that there is only one blunt class would be my concern there as part of the idea here is to create some better group synergy while also giving DRKs a bit a self boost. Blunt down is already covered by the class that needs it so it's not very useful to a group. The magic side of things aren't well covered though with it only coming from two classes in the game with awkward mechanics in tow to maintain it.

My major concern would be if is encroaches on the BRD niche or not. Honestly I don't really know how much BRDs are sought after in parties on Foes alone and if DRKs being able to also reduce magic resistance would dilute the BRD advantage too much. It could very well be a welcomed advantage allowing BRDs to focus on other aspects. I'd love to hear the prospective from some BRDs on this.

The Dragon Kick debuff could be split to get rid of that weird "MNK and DRK don't benefit from each other in a party" thing. Move the Blunt Resistance debuff for Demolish on MNK and leave the INT Down debuff on Dragon Kick. Problem solved without having to turn DRK damage blunt or change the great swords to great paddles for same.
