DRK bis?

[Freyyy]

I'd think it would revolve around minimizing parry on gear, and stacking skill speed/spell speed to reduce your GCD and the cooldown on Dark Arts (if that's even possible).

Wth am I reading here ? Dark Arts is an ability dude, its cooldown cannot be reduced by anything except the Spear card from AST. And even then, why would you need or even want to reduce DA's CD ? It's already 5 seconds. And while SkS is a pretty nice stat on DRK (faster MP recovery, increased DoT potency), it's still far from being worth stacking because of how it murders your TP. Crit is the best bet IMO. Like for almost every other job in the game since the expac.
