[DRK] Wanna know why Unleashed & Abyssal Drain are both needed?

[Giantbane]

I'd be fine with that, sure. Might as well throw out undmend as well though....since the next debate would start as "what's the purpose of unmend when abyssal drain is nearly identical to this ability?"

Unmend is higher damage for less MP, clearly better when attacking a single target. So it's got a clear purpose. Moreso because unmend is even more useful on DRK than the PLD/WAR counterparts. When you're at range from any enemy, unmend is the best use of MP for a DRK as long as it doesn't break a combo. Abyssal costs too much and does too little damage to have that purpose. PLD/WAR don't really get that benefit because their ranged move costs too much TP to be too practical in that aspect.
