Datamined DRK changes from final build

[Dalmacus]

Balance the jobs my butt yoshi-p why are all this skills nerf in the first place?! 10% on souleater you might as well remove that weaponskill too. #deleteDRK/WAR

[Esp]

You'll be darn sure we will be having ALL kinds of questions come next Q&A. Lol

[Xenosan]

It can be as low as 10%, but it appears to be random. SEater & Abyssal Drain seem to drain a random amount. I've absorbed 100% and 10% and every number in between on a striking dummy. Seems they just made it random ?

[Brannigan]

If you're attacking a target dummy keep in mind that any damage you do over its remaining HP isn't counted. In other words, if it has 300 HP but you hit it for 1000 you'll see the 1k hit but only do 300 damage, which is also what you'll drain.

[Crater]

In between disconnects/crashes and waiting through the queues, I hit the striking dummy at my house a few times and both DA AD and Grit-Souleater seemed to be doing 100% life steal, just like before.

In addition, doing Syphon Strike under Grit gives you back double the MP - that is, it gives you enough for a full Dark Arts in one hit.

(On the other hand, Shadowskin's animation getting downgraded to Rampart's turns the stomach just a little bit. Tear it down, revert the changes, un-release Stormblood Yoshi, etc.)

[BlackironTarkus]

Both Abyssal Drain and Grit-Souleater are indeed both still at 100%. Losing shadowskin animations is... garbage, I agree. The HP and the MP thing are nice but I still hate how SLOW the class has become. JFC.

[WolfKid]

I was wondering about the MP boost to syphon strike, i think you get less MP in Blood Price now

[Cabalabob]

Seems sole survivor didn't get that +10% damage people thought it was getting so DRK utility basically 0.

Perhaps offensively, but with SAM and NIN, I would rather have the Darkest Night over Maim.
