Atmas For DRK

Last time I used /THF was Dark Ixion back last year.

I highly doubt a SA/TA setup is going to out do /SAM in long term damage.

SAM subjob is also better for soloing. I usually go with 2-3 people to abyssea. For Voidwatch, I still go /SAM because spamming TP on the mob isn't a good idea.

Last time I used /thf was sometime in July after I heard some good things... I cried my way back to pj and changed to /sam

True story.

Last time I was on drk I changed to war.

atmas for drk: [blank]

last time I was on DRK, I purposely deleveled it to 37.

That's already too much time on the job, silly.

38 is such an ugly number though

Lol, thank you for that.

They really need to design a home point located in the middle of a bunch of mobs so i can just set my friends HP there and streamline the whole process of deleveling all his jobs. Right now I think the best is what? Cape Terrigan?

Ftfy

Just wanted to say about the soloing NM part;

/sam = Does allow you to solo some NM's without mage support if you time everything right. Meaning clicking seigan off mid-cast of Dread Spikes to get regular recast timer, stuns + weapon bash usage, drain => drain II timing and so on. (I've done it, but then again, I've been DRK since NA PC release unlike this bandwagoner....)

/thf = Does not allow you to solo any NM but does allow you to flee... oh wait, it just one-shotted you before you could run away.

/sam = Became the staple support job for Dark Knight's and most 2H DD's since Aht Urghan and the Samurai update was released making it a new and viable option as a support job. (/war was still my fave though, just sayin')

/thf = Died out along with exping with Dhalmel's on Bibiki Bay and the need for SC + MB Parties.

Foretre = a guy that doesn't really know what he's talking about and or a person that has not experienced Final Fantasy with actual players that use logic in battle instead of "omgaw, gtfo of the mob DRK!!! We dun want no TP spamzz!!"

Ridiculing aside, along with everything including this game, everyone must adjust to change and with change, you must accept the fact that /thf is now obsolete.

/thf had it's glory days (believe me, SATA => Spinning Slash => Light on HNM's were what made DRK's noticeable.) there's no more going back to that however, perhaps the odd occasion you want to fight something purely for the e-peen, by all means, go for it.

Saying /thf has greater survivability and dmg output than /sam is preposterous. Sitting out or away from a mob does not constitute as part of "survivability" neither does your statement of; "the only time /sam can ever come close to beating a SA torcleaver was with sekkanoki, desperate blows and merits..." You're purely talking of WS DMG only.

Just admit to it and cherish the beauty of being a Caladbolg wielder is for it's >>insane and nearly incomparable DPS<< In fact, with the latest Last Resort update and being biased to DRK, I believe DRK is the >>best<< DPS job available in the game at this time.

Lastly, if you weren't asking for any advice, then what was your initial post about asking for better equipment advice etc etc..

Cause you suck on Drk?

Nah, maybe he/they wanted more versatility in their group?

I never asked for better equipment, i posted what i had and i said what i generally wanted, though you guys are right i suppose, i'm just used to talking to people that have no idea what they're talking about so i get defensive, and my initial post was mostly talking the guy that wanted to see more damage out of the WS itself but i didn't understand how to quote till i actually clicked it, guess i'm just tired of /sam, only started /thfing recently and and only got calad 3-4 days ago and its been my only real time on other than doing procs to sub out for a war lol, i know drk can solo lower nms with /sam, the first thing i did when i got calad was go *** athmas up, but i dont see why everyone rejects the idea that if you have the right people with you /thf could be pretty awesome in abyssea, outside i never really use it. for the survivablity all i was talking about was much higher tier NM's in abyssea that spam powerful TP moves and jas back to back so /sams survivavilty doesnt mean much, ive been playing since the release as well and i dont see why you guys are so uptight and all the math and ***, im comfortable because im actually having fun, you guys are aware its a game right? :P

I find being good at my jobs fun.

Clearly you don't.

This.

^ I have fun by having fun. I dont need to be good at a game to have fun. Thats what games are for.

>implying drk doesn't suck terribly inside abyssea

At least you admit you're a terrible player.

/salute

lol

trolling would be you not actually playing drk but you in fact playing warrior past all this debauchery

take your fail elsewhere

Lol, i actually haven't had anytime to be anything but mnk, other than recently i've been more over forced /thf cause i needed red dagger procs. Its annoying because i need the right people so i can start going the way i want. But in all seriousness if you want to see some random massive torcleaver damage > this guy "Quick question;

I have had my fun with the 1k+ crits on aftermath with Caladbolg on using RR/SS/AoA (This is the beauty of Caladbolg I know, the DoT!) but am naturally unhappy with my 2.5k Average Torcleaver's since my Guillotine's average higher at 2.7k.

I am currently trying to find atmas that focus on "big" number Torcleaver's and am stumped on what to put as my third atma. I currently am thinking of using; Griffon's Claw and Lion atma's.

Any help, input, and constructive criticism is appreciated. Thanks in advance!" but you lose in dps.

Man, don't make my job look bad either please.

Even though you didn't directly ask a question, you had an input on someone else's question and by that means, you're allowing yourself to be criticized in a discussion thread.

edit: and if you're wanting to see big numbers, just change jobs, if you wanna be good at drk, use the correct atmas and stop being obsessed with "big* epeen numbers that won't impress anyone.

Oh i know, i was talking to the guy that posted that, and i just liked watching you guys squirm from my posts lol, ive been lurking for awhile and know what i generally should be doing when im actually trying, the gear set for WS i wanted was about right wasnt it? and for tp i need goading belt, and calmecacc and blitz ring right?

If I remember correctly you need goading, ace's feet, rajas, brutal and white tathlum for a 7hit that allows you to ws in pretty much whatever.
Should focus on that really, and /sam. :P
But well, for big epeen numbers /thf, RR SS (crit dmg boost is probably the best you can get) and GC or apoc, maybe?
