honestly this is making me wanna come back seeing how this new road map is "fixing" things I had a beef with for the longest time
Thoughts?

yea...now we just need Divine Magic FC...but lolPLD, lolWHM, and lolRDM :(
They already said they were just going to remove the decay on absorb-stat spells, and give DRK a Dark Magic Celerity like BLM when they first mentioned these adjustments way back when.
I totally misread this title...

You're probably being sarcastic, but I don't think WHM has been neglected very much lately :p

Seems my voidwatch DRK is gunna get some lovin when i land my spells :< btw: what is Absorb-Adj? cant think of a stat off my head that matches that :<
I can't stand navigating the official forums ~_~ that's probably why i can't find it.

So this was supposed to happen by the end of July or something like that if I remember correctly, what ever happened with this?
smn was also supposed to get new avatars by July - august that they then said at the end of August that has been delayed and wasn't gonna happen by august...
The removal of the decay would be appreciated. I can do a +69~ absorb with nether void with Liberator99/Pavor/Chuparrosa. -69 VIT on a target is good for zergs.
69 is just good in general

Okay they could just double the potency then.
Whatever floats your boat.

If you want harder, dont bring a sch
Edit: ill admit ive not really used NV for much besides drain, but there arent really any situations that it would make that big a difference, time lost in timed events when you could have put out more dmg in the time it takes to cast than the difference in the 1 minute boost/debuff makes it a lost cause

Difficult concept, I know.

I don't get why DRKs would need a fastcast trait for dark magic. All dark spells cast pretty damned quickly (1-3 seconds) except for Aspir II which is 5 seconds. Plus there's a bunch of FC pieces for DRK already like AF3 head/Enif Cosciales. Even if it does decay, a 30-40 STR boost that slowly decays is still rather potent I'd think considering people pay millions of gil for just +1 str.
Because casting a spell is stopping anywhere from one to three swings. Some weapons or events you just threw away a whole WS, which is kinda silly when all you got in return was ~300HP or +17 STR for 30 seconds.
It's a bit like why Redemption is a sad joke: You use Quietus to get ODD, but then most of that ODD is making up for the lost WS damage of using Quietus.
Opportunity cost.
They had to buff the hell out of DRG's jumps to make them worth the 2 second JA delay, neh?

Short version: Stop posting.
Long version: That's time not spent meleeing. Absorb spells are almost always a straight loss in DPS even with a perfect Fast Cast set. Liberator, Nether Void + stacking delay, or significantly boosting alliance critrate via Absorb-AGI are the biggest gains and it's still pretty marginal, especially when fully buffed. Said Fast Cast set maxes out at 30%, which is far from "a bunch". It's actually pretty pitiful as casters go; only PLD and NIN get less. BLU gets 38% without trait for non-blue spells, 45% for blue spells. WHM, BLM, RDM, BRD, and SCH all cap (80%) -cast time on at least one type of spell. A large part of DRK's magic arsenal is essentially written off because you're better off just putting a dent in the monster's skull the old-fashioned way.

Whats your FC set look like Night?
Perfect set is AF2+2 head, the new FC neck, Loq Earring, Nebula Houppelande +1/FC+5 ACP body, Prolix Ring, and Enif Cosciales. Mine's not that good, but it's getting there.
Granted there's also additional merits into Dark Seal but the problem with that is that it just adds more JA delay. Even if you're 4/5 to get an additional 30% (assuming 1 in DE), you're not breaking even time-wise by using Dark Seal.
