30 days almost up and I still can't enter endgame due to droprate

[Steeled]

Go get the Darklight Sword.

Two things:

1) Step up. Take the heat. This is part of tanking. If you really feel that a small upgrade in weapon is the difference, I don't know what to tell you.

2) If you do encounter DPS just dominating you're hate, they are doing it wrong. Hate control is a three-way-street. Mark targets, focus them down. Yeah, maybe the relic summoner will have to slow up his game, but that's not your *fault* or anyone's.

Oh,

Darklight and GC have the same stats.

Well then, you're fine OP. Just gotta step up. I went 1/54 on my Ifrit's sword. I tanked all the way to 50, and ever since 50.
