BLM or DRK

[Zanar4]

I am a level 12 blackmage taru in gilgamesh. Now im thinking, hey maby BLM is a bit boring just hittin buttons and watchin spells all the time while im missing out on real action doing melee. Now my question is, what do you think i could have more fun doing later on? my real deal is magic, i love it, but i also feel like im missing out not doing melee. I see DRK and think o wow this is great i can do both, but if im a taru drk ill prob have to worry about WS all the time and im not huge on doing that. I want to do a good amount of damage, but i want to have a fun job. I want to have magic too. Simply put, which can i really have more fun doing in parties, and not have to worry as much, just have fun. Im not a psycho about this game, i do it in my spare time. Ive had it since its release and im only lvl 12. I want to have fun, and i just am curious wether BLM gets to be more exciting as i lvl up, or should i start seriously thinking to switching to DRK to make my game more exciting. i jus wanna have fun, and i dont know which to pick im sorry if this question is confusing, but if one of you experienced guys could help me out here id really appreciate it

DRK gets it's "nuke" spells so late I don't see the point in them casting any. Drain, Bio, Aspir and the Absorb-Stat spells are all I'd cast if my attaks hit that hard, and not many of those I'm thinking. :sweat:

And I don't get this whole "action-packed" melee deal. Target, auto-attack, report TP, use WS. Maybe you even provoke if you happen to be feeling generous to the mages...

"Maybe you even provoke if you happen to be feeling generous to the mages..."

Ouch..you have my sympathy... FWIW. The problem in not unique to this game. I've played tanks in 3 games over 4 years and it always seems like there are so many war, pal, and SK's that think they are melee's (wel DK is in this game but you know..).

I guess it's a matter of time but it goes both ways. I'm a tank cause I love to get hit (read: masocist ). But people just haven't built reps in this game yet (US peeps anyhoo). I often find myself getting passed up for dolt tanks with a half leveled sub, big swords, and lousy armor and promply stand around to watch the mages die one by one. Easy to get a group after that..send the mage a tell and say "I wouldn't let that happen :p

I mean you can be a RDM, pretty good all around but when they fight they are mages, surporters. But when RDM solo there main weapon is there sword I guess thats the best thing you can do :sweat:

if..

you do go dark knight as a taru I would recomend subbing summoner for the extra mana you will get.. taru dark knights gte like 500 mana at lvl 70 so chances are you will need more...
