DRK Lamentations/requests

They specifically said they'd be adding an effect to Quietus which jeez, thank god. I mean with a name like that you'd expect a silence effect at the least. Hopefully it's good.

But yeah, they said they'd be adding effects to abilities. I'm hoping they fix more than just Quietus. It's like everyone who plays DRK has different input on what's wrong with the job, so they just ignore us completely.

We agree on what's wrong its the fixes everyone has wild ideas about. I know I've got my own ideas on how I'd fix the class. I wish private servers were a thing.

I really really don't understand the whining over Quietus. It does what it is intended to do: use blood for AoE damage. Got Blood? Use Quietus. Got MP? Use Abyssal Drain. But people complained so loudly about this ability, apparently, that we're getting a useless buff to our 4-man AoE damage and not to any of the crap that is actually wrong with the job.

My complaint about it is that it was not a blood-worthy skill. Barely stronger than AD, no enmity modifier. Its only perk is not costing MP. Its DA effect is not worth it either.

When you have something (DA+Quietus and our current version of Dark Passenger) not worth using to me that is a negative.

Buffs to a job's AoE damage, particularly when that job's AoE damage was already very solid, should be at the bottom of the priority list, tbh.

Then you can argue the skill shouldn't have been added, which several people have. I mean, if they reverted Dark Passenger and Unleash then we have the same good old lineup we've always had.

regarding Quietus

I agree it's pretty much at the bottom of the list, however it's a really common complaint both here and on JP forums and fact is Dark Arts on Quietus is objectively bad.

They're probably more sensitive about new abilities that are broken, so with that being said, I'll take what I can get as far as repairing our janky job.

I miss the old Abyss Drain spamming from pulling everything before boss/door until they sucked all the fun and flavoring out of the job
