Basic Guide to Dark Knight...

You guys type too fast for me - Im at work DEFENDING THE INTERNET *THUNDER*

So really rappa /sam sucks that bad? ; ; Ah well I'll still get it leveled and maybe take it further. I kinda skimmed most of the repiles so more to come on lunch.
 
Drk/Drg Spokesman needs a klub, wish I got the chance to use Souleater Jump on Dynamis Lord. Oh wells, no dice.

Your making me cry ; ;. If its the last thing I do I will souleater + jump something with a kclub.
 
For a 100tp guillotine aqua rings>flame rings, simple as that. AF+1 feet are also a good way to beef up the MND modifier. As far as subjobs are concerned, /war, /drg, /nin or /thf is fine as long as youre not being a retard and opening up the fight with a Souleater+Guillotine. And if you are subbing nin, please dont gimp yourself and dual wield axes. Try some meat instead of sushi sometime too.
 
Guess I'll have to work or /drg after reading all these posts. its at 12! lol

Either or I agree with meeze with the whole dont sub thf if theres no MB. /war is soooo juicy when it comes to DOT and nice WS. Sure KNOWING your not going to miss that ws is nice but double attack and zerk and warcry are very sexy ja's

You realize that tp only affects Silence duration for Guillotine and not damage, correct?

I use n.feet. I think I'll stick to those.

Yup, but you know the +MND increases dmg and not silence effect right? The reason i said 100 tp is becasue when you are in a merit party, you usually go as soon as you hit 100 Tp.
 
Yeah i got both N. feet and AF+1 feet, and i still get slighty better numbers with the AF.

Right, but str > mnd. They both have the same bonus dmg modifier but str also adds to atk so it's a twofold thing. If you want to put those rings on, go ahead. But if you macro off a Raja's to put on an Aqua Ring... well, no comment, hehe.
 
Sorry to semi hijack this thread btw but - what is everyone view on the DRK jse mainly head hands body - Now for someone who doesnt have Sky gear yet lol.

Hands I like cause of the +str and +attack vs tarasque+1 you lose 4 attack but gain 4 str. and enhanced absorb as well. Head is decent for TP gain but of course would be macroed out on WS. The head is like an O hat with a little less evas but +9 attack and again enhanced absorb. Now I just bought a plastron bc again no sky gear. Macroed in ONLY for Ws due to the higer +str/att than berk. I know its not much but it helps.

Now for the legs in feet - Legs I love em theres really no better gear out there for our legs. Feet same kinda thing. I wore fucking leaping boots from 7-68. I hated it I cursed Se for not giving better foot options. Now I got rutters then replaced rutters for the black sols.

How do you guys feel about the DRK JSE?

Edited as a side note - I know the dmg+ exists and sucks but I macro out the gear if I go under attack.
 
Marine M Boots for Hume. Huge bonus until N.feet.
HP+60 STR+3 among others.
 
/sigh, alright i wont bother anymore trying to convince you guys that MND and STR will boost up guillo dmg rather that using pure STR. But im curious Rappa, werent you the one that used to go /nin with 2 axes then sometime after made a post telling drks to stop being noobs and use a scythe instead of DW axes?
 
Um.. no. I never used axes. I tried them out a few times after getting nin to 37 but I hated them and sold my axes out less than a month later. Who are you anyway? Are you a stalker? <_<
 
lol no, i guess i just have a good memory and remember seeing that thread somewhere.
 
To Aither:

Alot of the Black set is up the beholder I guess. In my eyes, some of the pieces are just Adaman +1. The difference between Adaman and Black celata is +1 att. But if Ohat is your only option right now, id go with Black.

Vs Terasque mitts, I'd pick the drk jse(for TP at least), but I think one could argue either way.

The legs are definately the stand out piece of the set. I used them all the time.

As for feet, have you thought about Amir Boots for TP gain?

Also, do you have sea yet? Theres alot of gear from limbus that can phase out jse/adaman for TP gain.
 
Just read the first post, and the first page that followed. I intentionally avoided the arguments strewn about after that page.

Ruffy: I agree wholly with use of Absorb- spells. I was told "pre-DRK flag" that "lol u won't use abs spells, they sux". I find that I can debuff as well as a RDM when I use Absorb spells.

On the subject of subjobs, quite possibly the most sensitive area of DRK life. I couldn't agree more with the use of WAR and THF as greatly viable subs for DRK. I'm surprised you left out SAM as a subjob for it though. I've been using SAM since 52 and it's working great! Hasso is a godsend.

Meeze: I agree with use of Jack-o'-lanterns a lot of the way. I still use meat mithkabobs since they're cheap as hell, and I enjoy a relatively good amt of DEX already, coupled with Absorb-DEX giving a great deal of accuracy. Best food I've had the pleasure of using? Optical Soup.

But, my experiences with DRK vary greatly from others.

You also missed key discussions on subjobs and many other areas you might find interesting.

edit: And once you get higher in levels, Hasso will be less of a godsend compared to other options you can have. At your level it might be great, but I don't know too much about it besides at 75.

Nah no Sea access Star, Cant get a COP static runnign really ; ;

Amir boots would be a nice option too for feet. Currently for TP gain I run woodsmans Ohat if the mobs has high evas (which is never at 75) or black sallet
Potent belt and of course berk.

Now the sea gear I would love to get my hands on - that homan stuff is amazing and I would sell my soul for a rajas.

Also as an edit - Why arent there specific job forums on QCDN?! I could shoot the shit about DRK all day

ALSO to prevent a post count+1

To whats going on about the DRK dual wield - Don't please lol it makes the baby Zeid cry.

I have axes woody/man

I have swords Dain/bloodsword

Will I use them in a PT? No, will I use them for solo/whatever the hell else I do...all the time. I really enjoy to solo stuff on DRK so in some cases dual wielding is a good option. I did do a rampage tp burn pt once in Sky with axes - it sucked horribly. I accept the fact that I am not a warrior and I am happy I'm not. I really urks me to see drks neglect the 2 handed weaps

theres been alot of talk about the mnd modifier on Guillotine and all it does and i'm know i'm sure is it adds to the silence effect and nothing more. I has never added to the dmg http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/Guillotine http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/Modifier all it does is add to the additional effect which is "Silence" that is all. And to the comment about the JSE everyone knows legs > all, the head to me the black > adaman cause the -hp is crap HP=dmg for souleater too bad I dont have the jse head piece though cause when I did play I had alot of things goin on and getting that piece just yet wasnt at the top of my list, and i'd say once you hit 75 and maxed out scythe throw out your hauby/berk and rock out the plastron, out I wear this full time and never have any problems and you'll be surrpised how well you keep up MP with refresh santion. even with a rdm in the pt i've yet to ever have a rdm that needed to ever refresh me theres always mobs that you can aspir for 100+mp with the right drk magic set up. Also to the Spaming Souleater comment unless you have mutted soul, I think that job trait is a joke, if your afraid of pulling hate or dieing go level another job, besides if your useing souleater and the mob doesnt die or is at 1% your more then likely doing something wrong, you should be able to gage your dmg and know what your capable of doing by the time your 75 to kill a mob.
 
I 100% agree with mexi on the souleater comment, i do not have muted soul (mainly because war is my main >.>) and i use souleater every chance i can get.
