Dark Knight Megathread

[Archwizard]

To be fair Edge/Flood swing a pretty massive amount of magic within the strike, so it doing magic damage makes sense.

Yeah, but like I was saying, Bloodspiller has an explosion of dark energy on impact, and still isn't considered a magical hit any more than SAM's Yukikaze is. (Sure, SAM has a practical reason to keep the latter physical thanks to Bloodbath, but DRK is not affected by any such divisions since Embolden and Brotherhood became general damage buffs. And even then, frankly Bloodbath could stand to change for NIN's sake.)

At any rate, my issue is more just the reduction in spell-work for the job in general. I get the devs not wanting DRK to be too close to PLD, but they could still have the MP spenders manifest as magical blasts from your offhand or curses or explosive projectiles so we can actually do some quick spellcasting, rather than just quick swings. If anything it might feel more natural, and make room to have the actual physical swings feel more impactful.
