It is possible however. There are more requirements than just being level 60 (Complete 1,000 dungeons, raids, or trials, 300 player commendations, and having done 1 lvl60 dps, healer and tank quest) but the idea of being a mentor is simply to help newer players so technically they'd want as many people helping as possible (which is what a few of the roulettes used to be but they ended up just being used for grinding out tomes and such).

The limit you are thinking about however is for the mentor channel for chatting with new players...to which honestly is already filled with "mentors" arguing over healers dps, and which tank is the best in the game, instead of properly answering simple newbie questions (honestly why i stopped using it after 3 weeks. -__-) I will agree there will be more people doing mentor roulette and some will be for the mount mainly but I feel like that 1000/2000 mark may deter players who don't care about new players at all as that is quite a bit of dedication lol

I am liking the black version 3rd gear set that Dragoon will be getting. Certainly going to collect the full set for vanity. If only Lancer/Dragoon had more Helberd weapons for my planned Vanity look.

The white version suits a Paladin character more than a DRK and Warrior but it is still a nice looking armor.

if i have to write everything literally itll become a book, not a post. work with me here with the understanding

Scourge and Salted Earth are actually the DRK's strongest moves. 500 Pot over 30 seconds and 525 Pot over 21 seconds. But if you strictly meant full damage right now kind of attacks then yes DA CnS is a DRK's Strongest right behind DA SE.

we all know war is over the top ....but doesnt look like SE isnt going to change that anytime soon.

Proper grammar and punctuation are very important; these have very different meanings: "Sally loves eating her family and her friends" and "Sally loves eating, her family, and her friends". One is perfectly acceptable, the other is...not.


As for your points, Maim is basically the same as Darkside, except you need to spend a GCD every other combo (or so) to keep it up, and Darkside buffs other abilities (on top of the damage boost) at the cost of MP (which isn't an issue if you're a half-way decent DRK). Storm's Eye, like Dancing Edge, also buffs other tanks' and NIN damage.

Now, if you want to compare Fell Cleave to Carve and Spit, compare the rest of the skills as well. Skull Sunder is 200 pot, Spinning Slash is 220 pot. Maim is 190, Syphon Strike is 250 (had to double-check this one. Twice). Butcher's Block is 280 and Power Slash is 300. Souleater is 260 (400 w/DA!), Storm's Path is 250. Storm's Eye is 270, Delirium is 280. Hmm...interesting that all comparable DRK skills are more potent than a WAR's are (except Hard Slash and Heavy Swing, both at 150 potency). DRK do nice, consistent damage over a fight (with proper MP management); WAR are more bursty when Berserk is up.
