[dev1072] Job Adjustments: Dark Knight
Bismarck.Sylow said: » They're reducing the default recast timer from 15 minutes to 10 minutes, how is reducing the recast timer a nerf? If you have 5/5 DE, recast timer is 5 min, 7.5 min if you only go 4/5, which would leave you with 1/5 for DS if you chose that route. Not sure which is better tbh: 3 min of +20 acc every 10 minutes with more survivability since you're not taking as big a hit to your max HP or 3 min of +20 acc every 5 (or 7.5) min with a bigger hit to max HP I'd prefer the latter @5/5 but the former if 4/5 under the old effects. Weird, they were supposed to reduce recast timers to the 5/5 level. I wonder if the entire Diabolic Eye post is a mistake?
According to JP page it is definitely 5 minutes:

(Kalilla you should probably put that as a note in the post/OP)
Nice find, this is great then. I was wondering why the other updates were giving the recast timers for 5/5 merits.
What are the thoughts on distributing merits now for Cat 2? Thinking: 5/5 DB 4/5 DE 1/5 DS Is it worth moving some from DE to DS to gain some fast cast in exchange for HP%? My guess is
-15% HP at 1/5 -12% HP at 2/5 -9% HP at 3/5 -6% HP at 4/5 -3% HP at 5/5 Bahamut.Darkone

5/5 bring it to 5 minute recast. My guess is that it's supposed to be 5 minute and not 10.

Diabolic Eye at 5 mins, and 5/5 reduces max HP Loss up to -3% Dark Seal is perma-5 mins and 5/5 gives one spell a maximum of 50% Fast Cast for Dark Magic I like the Diabolic Eye fix mostly. Hopefully they slap a duration on Dark Seal though, if they consider this to be our Fast Cast option...sucks it only works for one spell every 5 minutes D: I can only see DS worth taking past 1/5 if it actually reduced recast timer as well. Can anyone confirm if that is also lost in translation, or is it really only casting time?
They reduced most 10 to 20-minute abilities to 5 permanently, so Dark Seal is at 5 minutes maximum recast. The only thing they exchanged was from reduced recast to reduced casting time

The only thing they exchanged was from reduced recast to reduced casting time I meant the recast time of the spell you use with Dark Seal, not the job ability itself. Just want to see if maybe that was also a typo, that it's 10% fast cast instead of just reduced casting time. Would it be like the Elemental Celerity trait, which does not affect the recast timer of the spell used?

I can see uses for: Dreadspikes - Sucks when you need to get it cast but keep getting interupted. Impact - Would be a nice way to nearly fastcast yourself into 100 tp and massive debuffs onto the mob. Debuffs can last for up to 3 minutes and the massive Zerg that ensues afterwards with entropy if you have it is a great way to get all that MP back, for the next round. Maybe 5/5 DS and 5/5 DB is the way to go.... EDIT: Hmmmm scratch that, wiki says Impact is ELEMENTAL magic??? EDIT again: Can anyone tell me if Dark seal works on dark based magic at all, or if it absolutely needs to be Dark magic. 15% zanshin with 5/5 muted soul relic pants +2 iono what to merit now
volkom said: » 15% zanshin with 5/5 muted soul relic pants +2 iono what to merit now so true. btw do you have to have pants equiped while swinging for effect to work? or can u swap them out?

Dark Seal: Recast 5min. Enhances Magic Accuracy of the next Dark Magic spell cast, with no effect on potency. Dark Magic Fast Cast 15% for a duration of one additional spell per merit level. or Dark Seal: Recast 5min. Enhances Magic Accuracy of the next Dark Magic spell cast, with no effect on potency. Dark Magic Fast Cast 15% for a duration of an additional 20sec. per merit level. |
