You'd probably have higher resist rates if your user name was XGP15A2 :P

Anyway, I have a feeling this one might come from the new BCNMs >_>;

Just preparing for the worst. <_<;

Waiting for '***guys, sorry we forgot to actually put the Absorb-Attri scroll in the game, just like we forgot to actually put DRK lv95 on the Scroll of Break'

COMPLETE speculation but I'm gonna say HKCNM with high droprate. That's completely from my *** though.

I'm willing to bet all the new spells have a chance of dropping in WoE, Voidwatch, and the new BCNMs. We had Kakka and Blizzaja drop in Voidwatch last night off the top of my head.

EDIT: just remembered, Temper loaded in one of my chests. >_>;

It can totally absorb Saboteur, Composure,Seigan, Third Eye, Hasso, Konzen Ittai, Focus, Dodge, Berserk in ballista. (Among other things.)

However no divine seal oddly enough.


No 2hrs however.


I used it on Deathlord Rognoj in campaign and got a massively overpowered dread spikes that was incredible.

Used it on Begrimed turtles in WoE and stole Harden Shell. 695 DEF on DRK isn't bad.

Gonna bump this to see if there are any more experiences people wanna share with the spell.

Would be good to get a feel for when/where this spell is especially useful. I'm sure we all pretty much get how it works, but some "Hey, I absorbed this for like 20 minutes and it was awesome! I was then able to go and do X all day with the boost!" posts would be fun to read. I think this may potentially be tied with the Last Resort boost in terms of useful updates to the job.

Come on DRK community, don't give up on trying to find out what the job is capable of! From what I already understand of the spell's strength, I feel like it's got to be ripe for early exploitation in some specialized instances somewhere. Maybe some crack between an Aura Steal adjustment and us?

I'm particularly interested in long-lasting buffs. There may be some situations where a DRK could be in a zone and there's a mob in that zone that gives a great buff for a long enough time for him to take the time to run and nab it when he needs it. If I'm doing something in Abyssea - La Theine and there's a mob that I can get 15 minute regain from, I want to know that I can go and grab that every 15 minutes lol.


Disclaimer: I've been working on Caladbolg (21/50 until 85) and have decided to hold off on leveling DRK until I have it. That's why I'm asking and not doing it myself.

Absorb-attri on Belphoebe :

First time : Regen 10hp/ tick
second time: Regain 10tp/tick

Don't know how long it lasts, i died twice then it wore off.

Seen on Crawlers : gives you shield effect that doubles your def.

I need more testings.

That's cocoon.

Really curious about the duration of some of these effects. Thanks for posting, there's just a terrible lack of shared findings with Absorb-Attri imo.

Has the full remaining duration of whatever you absorb. You can absorb Mother Globe's shock spikes and it lasts 60 minutes.

Absorbed a Scorpion's Sharp Strike status in Abyssea Tahrongi;
it lasted three minutes. +50% ATK from a base of 756. It was fun while it lasted.

Good times.
