Arcane Crest (DRK Lv.87 Ability Delay: 10 min. Effect Duration: 3 min.)
Lowers accuracy, evasion, magic accuracy, magic evasion, and TP gain for arcana.




I was joking about all the new JA's being Circle II's, as a joke.


I guess I shouldn't have jinxed it right?


Thanks for the useless ability.

Oh and we got tactical parry I guess, so unless they make our parrying rank A or something, instead of E.

Forget it, I'm going back to fits of laughter mixed in with vodka.

I like how Elemental Celerity would have at least made sense for us. . ?

I guess with all the new 'magic'.

I don't even understand anymore - at least we got fire III right?!


For *** sake I would have taken blaze spikes, shock spikes, and ice spikes as natural spells.

Anything.

SE is *** HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE.

atleast arcane crest will give rise to awesome macros like "lets turn the AC on!" and make bastion (which is so terribly hard) easier when a pot comes rolling in, amIright?

I used to think the AF3 boots made sense.



Now I know, I was wrong.

SE should have hyped it up a bit more...

With new Arcana enhancements, your allies will flock to have the dark knight lead the charge into Bastion battles!!

The duration is 3 minutes, so it should still be active for a good two minutes after the Bastion fight has ended. Maybe there will be two quick waves to take full advantage of this?

As for tactical parry...I'm not even sure where to go with that. On the jobs A-class capped parry I would still see parry proc more on RNG and DRK....how?!

At level 95 cap! Blizzard III is far too powerful and would unbalance the game if DRK had it now...

That's it, I'm done. I can't take it anymore. Being an 83 PLD and 85 DRK, there's no reason to continue paying for this game. It's like paying someone slap you in the face. I have absolutely ZER0 faith that further update notes will change my mind. You can bet your *** I will send feedback before I cancel.

ffxi is still a group oriented game. given that you could say: adding all the other abilitys that weaken certain mobs it sure does help. but hell no better go all alone or just 18xdrk's on one mob.

actually: would like to see that

ditto starr... I poured my time and effort into gearing drk, always hoping that we would get buffed, but it doesn't look like it's gonna happen. I give up!

rest in pieces drk, maybe I'll bring it to 90 if we get some magical stroke of luck down the line, but until then... I'm done lol

time to suck it up and level mnk!

Can't say I'm pleased with yet another shafting, maybe I should go take my monthly fee to them directly and get my *** bent over a table there whilst I'm at it >.>
Getting tired of this tbh, I still retain a small glimmer of hope.
Who am I kidding, they'll just keep screwing Drks over.
Se make Drk what it should be! Ffs.

Idk if they just see us bitching and want a good laugh or what. Arcane Crest, Tactical Parry. . . Really? Lets hope for the best with the non-announced tweaks.

Overall tho it's time for some Drk and other Job/Relic adjustments to bring us back up to par with other DD jobs/Empyrean weapons. Dose not seem/feel/look right smoking a good Amano Sam on my decent geared war. It's like there pushing out the $10 add-ons fast, But not trying to keep the game balanced.

Drk is still pretty good outside of abyssea, can still parse pretty decent. But inside ya.. It's still kinda hard to tell where this game is going tho in the future. As we can see where still on the abyssea path with this update, but what will preferred to do/end game scene be like @99?

This move is trash. Seriously. It has no use whatsoever. Unless the new abyssea zones have a ton of arcan mobs (since the last 6 zones had what, 2 altogether?), this was a wasted update for dark knights. Dark knights are officially the bullies of FFXI, we destroy weak punks, but give us someone on our level and we're gimped for the most part.

Why do we keep playing this game?

Maybe.


Maybe there will be a piece of gear like the Crimson armor, thats amazing, and everyone will use.

And it will give you the properties of Arcana. And in ballista, I can use Arcane crest to -


OH I FIGURED IT OUT GUYS.

THANK YOU SE, THANK YOU!!!

I hear you all on this one. I've been complaining all along about the WS's and the abilities/traits. I mean come on 0.875 Multiplier on Guillotine with 20% Mods and Insurgency 0.5/0.75/1.0 at 100/200/300% yeah that really makes a lot of sense let us WAIT for 3 potential WS so we can do ONE on par with SAM and WAR and then we get screwed with Guillotine in general even with Snow Gorget... We get JA's that are wildly situational. Souleater you can't use against undead and mainly used for zerg or to HOPEFULLY save your *** in a pinch. Arcane Circle yeah if that doesn't scream situational I don't know what does. Last Resort lasts... 30 seconds. Which if you did Desperate Blows 5/5 like I did better use it when Dread spikes is up because your taking hate! Or the mob is already dead.... Now they give us Tactical Parry and Arcane Crest. Not only does it not make sense to give us Tactical Parry since our skill is E - Class... but how many of you actually have parry capped? I sure as hell don't. Arcane Crest once again another situational ability... Dear god can then not give us like a Berserk style JA for christ sake so we are on par with WAR and SAM? Or at least fix the multipliers/modifiers for our WS. Just tired of not being able to do ***with a Scythe or Greatsword. Go go Atma of the Razed Ruins with Organics and Vorpal Blade... Psuedo WAR FTL....

I have parry capped, and its like a 20% chance to proc on an EM mob.


Its ***, anything having to do with Abyssea, End Game, other than I guess when farming clusters I can get tp faster.

I'd rather have gotten a JA called Tactical Rage or some ***, that gives drk 2% more tp when you get hit, so you get 4 instead of 2. AT LEAST - that would have made sense.


These JA's have no use in End game, Exp, or even Ballista.

I am *** floored, to say the least.
