    New DRK stuff

    (If I shouldn't have made a new topic, feel free to delete/lock)

    Nether Void - Increased Absorb Spells from 18->27. 5min Recast.
    Mostly useless, seems like a 50% boost. I tested it with Liberator and it went from 21->31. Boo =/.
    EDIT: Also increases Drain/Drain II by 50%~

    Occult Acumen - Seems you get tp based on the tier of the spell. Works /w sTP it seems. Crappy TP returns, I got like 6 TP from a Stone III (92 MP) =/

    Aspir II - About 50% increase over Aspir I, and costs only 5 MP. I'm guessing it'll drain around 150-180 MP after they fix Aspir/Aspir II. Decent addition for DRK, but we still don't have a reason to be using our spells. =/.

    Infernal Scythe - Horribly weak =/. Seems completely useless.

    Attack Bonus V - Attack +60~

    I'm unimpressed.

    Sekkanoki @ Lv 80 is a great addition though~ Cata->Cata never loses it appeal!

    Wait, does Nether Void not work with Drain/Drain II? That was the primary appeal of it.

    +10 STR extra from Absorb-STR with that JA is meh to you? People pay millions for an extra +1 STR.

    Considering it still isn't good enough to warrant casting it, it's pretty meh.

    I tried it with aspir, and I didn't notice anything. I'll go try it /w drain now~

    Also using a JA, and then casting a Spell to gain a decaying amount of STR is fairly useless. The time wasted to JA/Spell outweighs the minor increase in the stat.

    Tested Drain, and it doesn't gain a boost from Nether Void =/.

    Also I tried Infernal Scythe on the coli out here, but there's no difference in the damage I'm taking, still 40-80 damage.

    Gay and gay. I was looking forward to an increase in Drain potency (Drain II specifically) and the attack down on Infernal Scythe. It would be nice to try the latter in Ballista to see what kind of decrease it gives - might be worth stacking with Bio in some solo situations. Any idea how long the effect lasts?

    Does excess MP on Aspir II enlarge your MP pool like Drain II does with HP?

    Seems obvious, but then again, so does Accession Haste.

    Aspir2 is the secrect to AV. Aspir,Stone3,Aspir2,Stone3 rinse and repeat until he's out of MP.

    I'd be downright pissed if I were still using a level 50ish WS at 99.

    They'd better, at the very least, examine which WSes are best for each job and then make new versions for the 90's which are exactly alike, except maybe with slightly better mods and skillchain properties. Guillotine, Spinning Slash, Gekko, etc.

    Otherwise, ugh.

    I'm still amazed they decided to add new elemental weaponskills and AoE weaponskills or weaponskills that are Elemental+AoE. SE has to know that these WS types suck.

    Logged off now and completely forgot to check. Is there any noticeable upgraded job traits that we get? Was half hoping we might at least get an extra tier of Attack Bonus since everything else we've been given seems garbage.

    I'm really, really hoping so, but I've heard nothing of it.

    I think there is a higher lvl of attack JT at 76. At 75, my attack on my idle set is 451, then after i hit 76, my attack on my idle set is 463. Nothing else has changed including skill (not skilled up yet) and str.

    Herculean Slash does in fact suck balls. I get it with 292 skill but it only did 265 damage on a Velociraptor in Terrigan. Proc rate on the Paralyze seems high - proc'd immediately four times in a row after using it, but who knows if it would be effective on anything worthwhile.
