    Trying to gather some opinions on this weapon in terms of how, if at all, it changed your playstyle and gearing, etc. Example would be did it bring some new enjoyment factor to the job? Ideal methods for maintaining AM? Do you use BLM more now that you have it?

    With all the additional Occult Acumen augment gear, toying with next mythic ideas, and my long love for this job in all the lore of FF, it got me thinking.

    interestingly enough,the only reason i would get a mythic would be a sam or smn...possibly mnk as a third option. but they are increasingly becoming risky options depending on strength alterations updates provide. im 6 scoria invested with maybe 5-10k alex somewhere abouts i think..going on third mythic.firstwhm.ssecondbrd... not sure what to even get at this point or if maybe someone see's more value now with a smn/sam, because of comparing the rate of increased potency from augmented gear this last update provided ? The smn is definitely something to not miss if it ends up becoming the long time winner of potency and value for what your paying at todays/lastyear's rate. iono just something to think about for people who aren't set in stone on a pure dd mythic investment. what do others have to say about this topic of trying to make a good value buy/decision and are in the market because they haven't pulled the trigger yet

    Alluvion staff should beat Nirvana. And recently thf mythic became all kinds of awesome. So yeah shit changes a lot. I'd just get whichever one you like. A good way to help ensure you do a high end AM2 and not AM3 is to carry around Chrysopoeia Torque for in case you hit 3000

    can't go wrong with yagrush or carnwenhan (if you play those jobs). they have very nice utility.

    I've never been one to be accused of seeing the utility in things lol. I do begrudgingly pay whm but have no interest in making a yagrush, and thankfully we have a couple already. My first mythic was my murgleis, so like I said, I can't be accused of making sense

    Nirvana still gives a truckload of m.acc and wins, by far, on physical BPs

    I made a Liberator because I like DRK and it was my first job in like 2005

    make what you want, not what's good. If it isn't what you want you won't have the drive to finish it

    Pet mab and macc no but that's why I said it like I did implying a 2nd one . Theoretically you could make another one with idk pet att crit rate da rate and bp dmg but no idea if we even know enough to math out how that would compare to nirvana on physical.

    ALso someone said you still get the stat boost if you switch quickly so guess if you really want to max out your dmg would still want nirvana

    Actually, Liberator is DRK's best weapon right now, even if it can't compete with skillchaining thieves or samurais.

    For sure. But any place you can take a DRK you'd be better off bringing a THF or a SAM. It's still good, but it would have been "functionally better" as a Vajra or Koga. But, I wanted a Liberator, not either of those, so I made it. :D Also SE specifically mentioned they want to give DRKs a reason to use Scythe, so until they reveal what they actually meant by that, I'm permanently half-chub. (Insurgency is 20%STR/INT. With Lib and capped acc/att @1k it averages 6600~ on spreadsheet. If they kick it up to 50/50 like cross/quietus, that average surpasses the 9000 mark. SE pls)

    I've 5stepped Darkness with Lib and it does a shitload of damage, just kinda sucks I have to close the 5step with Quietus lol

    I'm still waiting for SE to reveal their plans on how they intend to make scythes "more attractive" for drks.

    Hope: increase wsDMG via fTP or WSmod increases
    Reality: add magic damage+ to every iLevel scythe to promote the casting aspect of DRK

    I thought the same thing^ or enhance absorbs substantially with scythes and occult acumen.

    Absorbs are actually pretty potent already with Liberator and a good absorb set. You can get +65 (deteriorating) for 2:20 or +61 (deteriorating) for 2:30 with Nether Void, which is pretty damn good.

    Barring like 5-10 extra macc, I have essentially the best macc absorb set you can get and it resists on anything important (not with DS/NV obviously).

    Sucking 60+ agi or VIT off of a target really kicks alliance DPS up quite a bit. It's pretty cool.

    Really? Cause given their current MO of stuff...
    Eg: Matsui seems to have more common sense/has learned how humans think... Vs Tanaka's pure orange and purple alien god mentality.
    I would suspect them to make all multihit (Scythe has like 20 vs everyone else's 1~2) WSs have ƒTP transfer...
    Probably with some ƒTP points increased on top of that.
    Honestly... They should just make all Xhit transfer ƒTP... Since now it's rarer that they don't.

    Back on topic: If you actually do Vido.....
    I've never seen a BLM with one every do a single WS except Myrkr... And for some reason there's a LOT of mythic BLMs on Odin.
    Now, mind you, it's only PUGs I'm dealing with since I don't know them personally...
    So they were probably just being lazy...
    Lord knows I do BLM lazily whenever I'm never on it...
