in all honesty I thought DRK was gonna become bandwagon with the Last Resort enhancement.
DRK will never be bandwagon in the way that WAR/SAM/MNK/NIN have been unless they fix the fundamental disparity between job and game design.
Also, DRK will never be bandwagon because it does less than 4k dmg on avarage inside abyssea.
yeah, everyone crys about DRK abyssea damage, like doing 3k Tors. Everyone forgets when you go outside you're STILL doing 3k Tors, and those Nins are doing 800 Blade Hi's :P
Oh yeah not to mention doing Crit Hit's for like 800-1200 Outside of abyssea with Aftermath on, I hate how quickly people disregard DRK <_<
How did anyone miss this. Oh you're not averaging 3k Tors outside either.
High 2ks, yes, I did a 3.8 in Einherjar last Friday, I must be lying though.
also Normal 90 Cald hits for about 200-300, Crits are about 400-600, so yes, double damage aftermath on crits, 800-1200 is totally BS, clearly.

I was going to field this for you but you beat me to it. I landed ~3200 torcleavers on Celeano. I couldn't do it consistantly to save my life if it were some of the jeuno path but it's still post-abyssea content.
Also, he said "drk is pretty much always useless" 3 posts later. I figured everyone would ignore him after that disastrous hyperbole.
I read troll bait basically saying unless you have a 95 relic DRK is unless. k?
Having a high-caliber weapon would be a more accurate summation, I just personally chose to go straight for Apoc for myself since it has the greatest overall impact (output/survivability/gear flexibility) and relics are now substantially less time-consuming to obtain.
from a melee standpoint (just melee hits, not weaponskills/spells/etc) doesn't drk stand out on top?
I think the "hard to balance acc/haste/stp" makes drks tp phase a problem as well. It would depend on the situation. I could probably hit 1200 attack torcleavers on voidwrought, but I'm not sure I'd hit consistantly.
Drk is not an easy job to pickup and go. If you aren't going to gear it properly I wouldn't even level it (i'm sure half the community will tell you not to level it anyhow).

I would think so, I can cap out 999 attack fairly easy with food and COR *I'm about 840'ish in TP gear and Red Curry Buns*, add in 25.6% haste on gear and an extra 25% from last Resort and haste I swing GS as fast as a decently geared PLD swings a normal sword.
I'd say anyone even mentioning using any spells Absorb-TP included would be the one that doesnt understand DRK.
90% of the time its an utterly useless spell and you are better off just swinging and Weaponskilling, especially when you are fully buffed with Haste and Marches.
With that said, I watched that video like 5 times in a row WS looks bad ***, almost makes me regret uninstalling the game :O
I will carry the torch for ye. Atleast when I'm not on WAR. When I put on Dethklok and change to DRK it's all for you man.
Should I rephrase it? DRK sucks as long as the proc system remains in the game, as far as Damage goes though its not a bad job. As far as things like Voidwatch goes, WAR will always have more utility due to being able to proc more things.
Thank *** god, Proc system is seriously one of the bigger reasons im not bothering with XI anymore. It forces you to play certain jobs and that really ruins the game for people when they cant play what they want imo.
