Re: DRK Updates: Merits

That would be nice, but I can snatch 150~220HP, and 50~80MP with Drain/Aspir during EXP. (Of course depending upon mob types.) So if we could then suck 50% TP out of a mob, that would be a little over powered. But 21% drain is almost 2 hits with a Scythe. Vassago' Scythe returns 13.5% TP a swing, so 21% absorbed Vs. 27% isn't bad really.

Then again... as I continue to mull this over in the back of my head, 50% TP stolen, saves the tank from taking a Sickle Slash or something else that 1-shots Taru PLDs, and a big boost to DRKs may not be so over powering. This may work out nicely actually, but we'll have to wait to see how S-E wants it to work.

Double Post Edited:
{Found it!} Check it out, got this info from TheOrderLS.

Dark Seal: I was right about this. Basically Elemental Seal for Dark Magic. Watch DRKs start MB Darkness with Absorb-TP! Let the good times roll!
Diabolic Eye: Reduces Max HP, Increases Acc. (Sounds a lot like Aggressor, just with HP down instead of Eva down.
Muted Soul: Reduces Enmity while using Souleater. But I like it when the PLD has to Cover me!
Desperate Blow: No Double Attack. Just lowers delay for a 2 handed weapon DURING Last Resort. So lowered delay for 30 seconds... Yip.... ~eeee?

I can dig that Diabolic Eye, just hope it's something along the lines of Aggressor, and isn't a 30 second thing and not really being too helpful. But I guess we'll see. I'm a long ways from these things, my DRK's only Lv.58.
