  • The Taru DRK/WHM

    I havent became it yet, but I think with Taru MP, DRK Attack and Black Magic and White Magic the DRK/WHM would in a way have the best of all worlds...Dark and Light and Attacks.

    Opinions?

      With the amount of MP that a TaruTaru has it's a great idea, but you still have to consider that the TaruTaru are the worst race for physical attacks. I guess that at a high level you can compensate for that, though. Whatever your decision-good luck!

        Drk/Whm has it's uses, but for normal play Drk/War is the way to go (Drk/Thf after 60).

          DRK/WHM is the single greatest job combo for DRK that there is...

            Yeah i see, so what about RDM? And I was thinking THF after 60.

            Or just lvling DRK/SAM.

            Btw, it might just be because im low lv'd but the Taru WAR is working fine for me.

              lol. taru suck at dark knight enough even when subbing war.

              don't even try to sub whm or you will be laughed out of a party.

              you have no strength of any kind and whm will only deter you further.

              perahps you should become a mage.... taru melee = NO

                This is a very ignorant statement thats just trying to start a flame. Taru's can make decent melee's... I have both a galka and a taru and i can easily say that a taru melee is alot easier and cheaper to become decent with than a galka/elven mage... and everyone hates galka mages but always invites elv whm mages even though they barely have more mp than galka's which drives me crazy, i've seen lots and lots of shitty elv whm's under 40 yet every galka whm i see has astral rings. It's true that taru melee's and galka mages are usually the best you can group with b/c the have to try the hardest and put in that extra effort to have the top gear... however there's a rare instance when they are garbage and those people should be shot ><

                  Wrong in a way... Elvaan don't have "slightly more MP than Galka" ... they have around TWICE the MP of a Galka.

                    hey man, i love taru melees, i dont give a crap if they do 195 dmg when i do 205. In fact, when i make parties, if i see a taru melee lfg, i invite them first for sheer entertainment value. Especially taru sams, too fun

                      taru melee = NO, taru mage = YES

                      the converse statement is true for elvaan and galka.

                      hume/mithra are YES to both.

                      don't deny it, taru melee = NO, they get put to shame by elvaan and galka.

                        coming from an elvaan drk, no less.

                        You're an ignorant fool at best.

                        Yeah, a galka/elvaan would be better at being a melee than a Taru. Is the difference *that* significant? Not enough to deter you from getting chain 5's bar any outside factors (meaning, assuming the party would normally be able to get chain5s, the fact that you're a taru won't deter that).

                        A galka/elvaan mage however, can EASILY bar parties from being able to get chain 5's, regardless of the player's skill. Get an add, have refresh run out, don't eat pies or use astrals, etc., all make galka/elvaan mages much worse than taru melee.

                        The only melee job I've heard about that is *signficiantly* worse with a taru melee is a Taru mnk. Every other job, a taru can compensate for their lower STR, and the lower HP doesn't make 2 shits of a difference.

                          There's a Drk/Whm in my LS, and she finds no problems being that job class. She had an open discussion with the entire LS, and we were very supportive of her role. Back up cures (not the main healer of course), mix of enfeebles, elementals, and some white magic...wait...what's that? That sounds like a Rdm w/ no convert/refresh/phalanx but with higher melee damage. At least, that's what our concensus was. And no, she isn't in a static party and has maybe one LS member at most partied with her.

                            Yeah, well for me the reason I choose to be Taru melee is because the look. I like to look different than the standard Elvaan DRK.

                            When you see a high lvl'd Taru melee or Galka mage you know they have skill because its a challenging class, other than taking the easy way out.

                            Plus, does the Taru MP have any affect in DRK's Magic?

                              More MP, is what I'd gather. My LS member says she'll be an ABS-stat whore. Hehe.
