DRK do you wish you get Stalwart Soul at LV45 like the rest of the tanks?

Pointless? when duty roulete take you to older less played content everyday?

Yes, this is true but no one is actively playing any specific older content each day. Of course with a notable shout out to the 24 man roulette and raid roulettes which I think are only old content. As you said it is just that the duty roulette "may" take you to old content. Now I do agree that "old" content is specifically pre-current expansion. If we are at the end of SB then I wouldn't consider the first dungeon of SB to be "old" content.

I have to do older Alliance Raid & Level Roulete for a Cracked Stellaclusters for 3 weeks straight now.

Have to is a strong word. Especially when you could make the gil to buy those materia in less time than the raid. Youre choosing to play old content every day, not being forced to.

Or don't do it at all? sound like an option.

Stellacluster could turn to any combat materia to be used for any combat classes that I like and it can be stocked.

Meanwhile if I buy materia it can only be used for a certain combat class.

It is called "Roulete" for a reason that is because we can't choose the content it take us too.

*Also, I didn't say that I won't do lower content. I just want DRK to be able to clear it as fast as other tanks*

And i would like to not have to wait ONE MINUTE to use steel cyclone as war and spen the other 57.5 seconds hitting 2 buttons back and forth. Drk isnt some special snowflake with lame, slow gameplay at lv 49. Oh wait. If were talking pre 50 war doesnt even jave infuriate. War literally hits 2 gcd buttons back and forth forever. Then one every 90 seconds hits zerk. 2 attack actions and 1 damage buff. Thats warrior pre 50. Drk has about the same number if actions that also come up slowly. You want to talk about boring? Go play war below 50.

ALL JOBS ARE SLOW PRE 50. thats what halpens when you prune down abilities and spread them over 80 levels when we used to have the same number of actions crammed into 50 levels.

Low level dungeons are just boring by design. Thats not a drk specific issue.

You don't need to lurk in this thread about DRK either. If you really want to tell other people that

You want to talk about boring? Go play war below 50.

Then go and make a new thread.

I think, rather than moving Stalwart Soul up, I'd rather the devs work on revamping the level sync system. Make our stats middle-to-low end for the level, but let us keep all our abilities. If I have to run Copperbell Mines every time I go into a leveling queue (which, anecdotal evidence suggests is true), it would be way more tolerable if I had my whole kit, even if my stats were low for the content.

This^ Though I could also see an argument for allowing us to keep our abilities and current stats since old content is no longer relevant. That said, I can also see the opposite end of that argument: new players wouldn't get any sort of first timer joy in a dungeon if everything is deleted in three seconds.

I guess I'm unsure what we're talking about. Are we playing solo content? Because in group content, the speed of the clear is far more dependent on the dps in the group, isn't it?

EDIT: as far as this goes, "Stalwart Soul instead of the Flood of Darkness", my personal opinion is no. Getting mana back would be pointless without Flood of Darkness, and given the low potency of Stalwart Soul (160 with combo; though it does build blood, that too is pointless before 62/64), you actually do better with Flood, yeah? The 10% damage boost from Darkside is better?

Even without Flood we still have Edge.

Could you provide any evidence that drk actually clears lower level content slower? Because there are a lot if people saying that and no one ine backing it up. I showed some math that shows war and drks damage being near equal. If you have information to the contrary please share with the class.

As for stockpiling clusters, you can atockpile gil as easily as clusters and it will buy you any materia your heart desires and even non materia items if all you want is future materia. No one is forcing people to play low level content. If its so terribly unfun se will see the lack if X jobs cueing for x thing. No need to make yourself suffer for a cluster.

I could just love to collect thing like the stellaclusters but then you just have to go and decided for me about What is best for me. *sigh*

Lacking mana to use flood in the second pull and beyond does not give it away?
