PLD vs DRK

Makelith said:
It doesn't vouch for much considering they are very different jobs with very different stratagies of killing people. There is no way the Drk you kill in 6 seconds is any good if you really do kill him in 6 seconds so that also doesn't count for anything.

You have a good point here, that was a bad example.

Silence is really the least of the worries if you have a drk/rdm. Sleep and bind can but you in alot worse of a position. If the pld decides to put up barsleep instead barsilence then go with silence and the pld is equally in trouble if no meds. You also aren't taking in to acount that 225 is far more then enough to enfeeble a player. We aren't fighting IT mobs here. Even match players are much more squishy.

Well, pld already has resist sleep as a trait, so it would be smart for him to go with barsilence. Another problem is that the pld can silence the drk, making him a sitting duck as well. But the difference is, a pld still has alot of JA's and such to keep def up while he'd be killing the drk. Where as the drk silenced would have nothing but auto attack.

Honestly, I think drk/sam would stand a much higher chance than drk/rdm. Timing third eye for ws's, hoping for counters from seigan, and of course...meditate. (and guillotine silences, so you got that covered)
 
I can't say much about drk/sam because i haven't used it in ballista since the seigan/hasso update. 2swings with a scythe + meditate is more then enough to put a pretty good silence on anyone.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
*breaths*

Well, guess you could always get warriors eh?

It's been a while, but I did my 60 DRK/NIN against my friend's 60 PLD/WAR and it was a slaughter. I still had over 1/2 my HP left.
 
DD, why can't Mara be as fun as you? He always edits what we post. Theres no fun there. D: And he hurts me <_<
 
i hate PLD/RDM. makes my guillotine sad.
 
I should add that the only fight vs a drk I've had, his guillotine did low 300's to me, and that was with /war sub.
 
Pld piss me off. We did an LS ballista a while ago, I was war/drg. Came up against this homoerotic purple pansy-waist and my GA hits were landing for 20-40ish noncrit. Against common VT-IT mobs with sushi, they land for 120-200 noncrit.

Raging Rush never broke 500 on him, and Steel Cyclone was just as useless.
 
why not set up a pvp match someday, and just play around with this??

umm, why are you telling us this. 60 cap is a whole different story.

Rufus:
Say they are both level 75 and have the best equips that they can. Who would most likely win?

No offense of all the PLD reading this, but a DRK has a few ways of dealing with you.

If a DRK knows what he's doing he will Absorb the PLD's VIT and also absorb TP. Hitting the DRK will only make the DRK's TP grow faster. The DRK also has drain and aspir, a DRK with his finger on the stun trigger will be more than happy to stop the PLD from casting cure, then sleep the PLD, giving the DRK yet another advantage, in the time being the DRK can rest if they want to.
By the time the PLD wakes up, all of the DRK spells would be ready for recast and the PLD will be even closer to death.

Then the PLD can shield bash the Absorb VIT. Sure hitting DRK gives them TP, but you just Flash them before a WS. Drain, Aspir and Stun are nice and all, but Silence can end that easy. Then there is the PLD natural Resist Sleep trait. Add in Sentinle, Rampart, Stoneskin, and Phalanx, even if you did get off a WS without Flash, your still not doing alot of damage.

I guess it all depends on what sticks. If a PLD can get Silence to stick to the DRK, then the DRK really has no hope.

Hitting with Guillotine for 30 Damage: 50 gil
Getting Silenced and unable to drain: 30 gil
Getting a WS Flashed: 60 gil

Using Blood Weapon followed by an Invincible: Pricless

There are some things gil can't buy. For everything else, there's RMT.

lets try this. I would do it if I had some ballista points, but I dont have any... AN ballista is kind of boring, lol. 1v1 pvp is better than 1v5 for me.


If PLD puts ups some massive damage reducing skill, the DRK only has to sleep the PLD and wait. I dont have capped enfeeble and Ive slept many people in pvp before. The whole pld/rdm thing, drk can just slap on a damage mitigation SJ as well, and when paired with Dread Spikes, the drk wont take a whole lot of damage. If the PLD flashes, just sleep and wait, or just wait anyway. It only lasts, what? 10 seconds?

If silence is the case... lol, people better take echo drops in case. After pvp'ing with a BLM once, I learned an easy lesson and decided to start taking poison potions... I was as drk/nin, so sleepga just raped me
Id like to try and take part in this

There's only one way to settle this... we need a really pimp pld to volunteer to fight a really pimp drk... are Aegis's considered fair play? because there's more than a few lying about the server...


but anyhow, it depends on player skill, and the drk's gear setup.

please, please let it be a toe-to-toe fight. Theres nothing more annoying the people running around like theyre having spasms.

Why not just get several PLD, and several DRK and just 1v1 all of them, and just switch partners after deaths and crap.. Would be a fun event
