FFS. Also, Looking at the current Topics.

DRKs really are the biggest Emo Fucks in the game, Half the current threads in "New Posts" Are DRK-Whine threads.

I'd post about how I think DRK doesn't need that much help at all in those forums, but I have a feeling I'd be drawn and quartered

Reminds me... "Funniest Drk Moments" thread in the Drk forum. Which in every other forum is: "Stories of the stupidest motherfucker you've ever had to play with."

Shit like
"I leveled 2x in in Yhoater without hitting a single mob, and no I wasn't afk."
"There was this one time at serket I did a big WS an pulled hate and died and had to have MP wasted on me for a raise."
"There was this other time I did somethign stupid that wasted everyone's time and I laughed about it."
"And this one time... at band camp... I shoved a chainsaw up my taint..."

No, they will just deny everything, go cut themselves and cry themselves to sleep under their Sepheroth posters....

ITT: Monster aggro is based on combat skill.

That guy is clearly a troll, and should be applauded for his work. The guy that needs to be hanging from a tree is the one that made the thread.

If you want to crit. your weaponskill, yeah i certainly was. Then you failed basic comprehension class. I don't think I said it would increase your damage output anywhere? Just saying. Like I did on the forums there. But hey, you go ahead and believe whatever you write. It's not like anyone is going to come back here and point out how retarded you're beha... oh wait nvm.

You should also not discount the possibility that I like blowing smoke up people's asses in threads that have been done to death and are nothing but redundant whining.

DRK would be easy to fix with the coming updates. It's not nearly as far behind the other jobs as people think it is - it's solely that Atma makes critical-based jobs so overpowered that any two-handed DD without a critical WS is subpar. Outside of Abyssea, where the playing fields have been leveled, DRK is only slightly behind, if at all, other DD jobs.

Get torcleaver, sub thf. Problem solved.

Thats hardly a solution blowfin... I can't think of any other job whose main weapon is worse than a secondary weapon


edit... but i suppose GA could work.. if they gave drk an A- rating in great axe

then it would be problem solve >_>

Well if youre going in with a main weapon mindset like that of course its not a solution. Why do you have to be swinging a scythe the whole time to be happy on DRK, its 7 skill levels difference at lvl 90 between GS and Scythe and hardly worth even considering them as main or otherwise.

Also, the GS is the easiest empy to get (with GK and Gun), improves the performance of DRK substantially and you get to crit your WS every 30 seconds if you sub THF.

(side note, it's once per minute since /thf TA isn't critical but meh. Easy mistake)

And on a further note, there's a significant difference between giving DRK the ability to critical weaponskills natively and pushing them into /thf. Even if you strictly 100% mean criticalling weaponskills and nothing else, subbing thf is hardly a "problem solved" by any means.

C'mon bro. You know that /THF will totally destroy using the same weapons, with a better sub that can get either a 5 [not worth it] or 6 hit. C'mon bro.

That crit is awesome. You know it.

Eh... wtf?

So when I go rdm/nin with staff equipped, I'm screwed?...

[Aksannyi]

I can't believe anyone is really that dumb. Please, tell me that guy is a troll, for the sake of my sanity.

[Kazen]

Well Rog's thread is gone.

[Mrbeansman]

AWWW they locked Rog's thread.

Sad to say that I've met people in-game who believed with all their heart that monster aggro was related to your combat skills. It made my head hurt, too.

Maybe in the sense that you can't hold hate through damage if you're whiffing all day long...but meh, people being idiots is the better explanation.

No, they genuinely believed that if your skills were fully capped, you were less likely to get aggro than if your skills were in the white.
