But, how often do you really need all that attack?
Last resort is gonna be up 3 out of 4min10sec, so pretty much fulltime :P

Some of the Sandworms (Ulhaudshi/Glavoid) seem to have pretty high Defense, enough that might justify the use of /WAR... Might Justify...
The only time I know for sure /WAR is good, is on Absolute Virtue burns.

It's actually kind of a big deal.
But moreover, the defensive options of /SAM still make it the perfect blend of offense-defense, of we're talking Dark Knight.

This, I'd never swap out /sam, as it's a great offensive and defensive sub.

Why is /SAM not a big deal anymore? Using VV atma doesn't count.

1) Every worthwhile DD knows the value of /sam for both it's JTs and JAs
2) Please stop arguing with the Full Perle + Swift Belt Drk with gimped subs.

I was going to level DRK once.
Then I realised that I didn't have the patience to do complete the quest to unlock it.

You can finish a Magian Weapon in a few days (Caladbolg literally 2 days with a minimum of 3 people). Ace's Hose/Feet (feet are 100% Drop) Incredibly easy items to get. Atheling Mantle is a 100% drop and so is Bale choker!!! All these NMs can be duo'd, there is no excuse for being gimp these days :x Only annoying piece of AF3 to get is the body, and then thats not even really all that bad.
5/5 Perle to me shows a Lazy Player.

You still need to cool your ***a bit Gradd. When I tell you a multihit Infernal Scythe build is pretty *** amazing in Abyssea, you could at least stop to listen.
Bennu is cake. His KI mob is twice as annoying.

A crit with Caladbolg/Redemption would do as much damage as your shitty Infernal Scythe. <.<

I just saw some SS of Caladbolg on a mithra and I think what she said would sound like "that thing's huge" !
I'm totally going for one when I return to the game lol
Btw, Bale body +2 isn't hard to get if you have a friend who can pull Fuath for you while you chain brew on a martello ;o

Bale body +2 isn't hard to get because Bennu 1-3 drops the Coins it needs. Freaking Bennu!

Add in that the key items drop more often that Time crates, and he's soloable, and no DRK higher than lvl8 should be without, one of the best, if not the best, DD oriented body in the game.
I will kind of jump in to Quietus's defense a little. Right now it's worse than Torcleaver, but Scythe DMG is higher, and it's mods are higher (40/40 as opposed to 60) and better (STR mod in particular), so somewhere down the line, it could surpass the Caladbolg Torcleaver.

I did Brygid's quest and walked away with DRK, COR, and WHM +1 bodies. Didn't eat too many stones and all the gear sold straight away again when I was done.

Check ws set things are being worked on. Also like i said i only play twice a week in an abyssea endgame linkshell. I am not in a rush for the gear and rather take my time and have a laugh with the linkshell.

My comments weren't solely a dig at your gear.
My point is if you don't have the time/knowledge to get better gear than what you're wearing, you likely don't have the time/knowledge to comment on / math out the numbers behind which subjob adds the best benefits for what scenario.
Basically, don't argue against people when you have no idea what you're talking about.

Arguing WAR could be a viable SJ for DRK won't give the others the knowledge you speak of.
