just reading that comment makes me want to hunt for coffers all day long, lol
 
And in other news, Bread now comes in slices! :nyam:
I personally like partying with DRKs (at least, the ones that use Stun/Absorb well) but then I guess I'm sortof a nut that way.

I like my absorb and stun spells T-T

anyway, only pt's I get are the ones I make, which arent bad. Only get the typical 6-7k/hr though, not those huge amounts cannons get. Still 73 though, and have no access to uts: ni
 
I like pting with myself, does that count for anything?
 
In japan, DRKs are like Dragoons.

The only way they can get partys is by inviting others.
 
Ouch....well what can you say to something like that o.o
 
I like playing Drk.... a lot of people i party with say, "wow, i had no idea drks could do that good"

which is either good or bad...
 
Drk in merit parties is a gimp war, they always sub nin and use double axes (39 less axe skill, 30 second berserk instead of 3 minutes, -10% double attack, no agressor)

All they have to compensate is souleater rampage which gives the OMFGWTFBBQ ws once every 6+ minutes and drains enough MP that the party has to go without haste for a couple minutes as the healer recovers that MP.

As far as drk using absorbs and stuns... The only time 90% of drks stun is after their souleater ws pulls hate. And I don't think I've ever seen a drk use an absorb except right before they ws.

Any drk that uses axes is gimp. There are very few situations where a drk won't do better with a scythe. You must really have partied with some crappy Drks.

I've outparsed several wars and mnks as /nin using scythe. I take a bit more pride in my gear than most people do though, no matter what job they play, a lot of people let the job do the damage.

I've seen wars wearing SHs for fucks sake, gtfo and buy a fucking hauby or berk.
 
loldrk! ...no, I dont think drk's are bad at all, people just dont give them a chance. That or they see a drk dual wielding axes and never invite another one. Scythe onry

you be surpise how many gimp drks there are. {scythe} {can I have it} or atleast a great sword.
 
most used axes cause before they fixed scythes a bit O.o at least.. I thought that was the reason :P
 
I love my DRK, and plan on going back to level it in a week or so, heavily. I take great pride in my gear and will use only Scythe and GS. Like the other DRK's posted above, there are very few situations where Dualwielding axes will put out more damage then a Scythe or even a GS. [Stun] [Scythe] [Abs-Spells] [Can I have it?]

Sad thing is though, when i used to play most merit parties forced darks to sub nin "for their safety"
 
you mean some DRKs dont use a scythe???? Oh Lord!!!!

If i fight mobs that i can Aspir, then i will try to absorb the mob as much as possible, making it weaker, softer, and less accurate, and making me a demi-god. If not, then i hope for a refresh, and i limit myself just a little, so i can absorb for atleast 3 fights, just the important stuff, str, vit, and dex usually.

I am only 59... but i cant imagine not using a scythe... sure holding two axes might look "kinda" cool, but having that big long shaft with a half moon blade of destruction looming on your back as if your only goal is rid the world of anything that looked at you wrong.

I have decent accuracy as well. My gear top notch (well not now i need to get a hauby and a vassago... but then i will be back up to date) Sniper and woodsman all that jazz. Sole Sushi chowin down, only using souleater when tank has plenty of hate, stunning gobbie bombs, berserking, double attacking Dark Knight Sunuvabitch!
 
I like DRK's as long as they use Scythe T.T axes are gimpness =/
 
If you have a really good tank or your pt has alot of MP to go around /drg is the way to go. And if you can learn to hold back and WS at the right times you wont be too much of a burdon on the mages. Watch how many jobs you can outparse.
