ladies and gentlemen, this thread was 9 months old. the original poster (who doesn't even seem to post here anymore) is a fanboi. there is no point.

Re: Galka = Best DRK

I personally don't think race matters much. I look at it being something people choose by what they think is the coolest race(And damn I would've chosen a taru for my drk if I knew how cool they were before I started:depress: ). Anything you lack can be made up with the correct gear. What makes the better drk is how people make up for their shortcomings(be it Dex for Elvaan, mp for galkas, etc) and of course the skill of the players. Never judge a job by its race.

Re: Galka = Best DRK

I would have to say a Mithra makes the best drk, sure they dont have as much str but they have a ton of dex and mp. Galka's should never choose something that requires mp. i had a galka pld in a group and wow, 3 heals or so at lvl 45+ or so.

If i was to recommend a class for drk it would be human or mithra. Elvaan's ehh there okay but they can hardly hit unless you ahve sniper rings. tarus dont deal enough damage with melee andt thats a drks strongest point.

Re: Galka = Best DRK

The original poster became the first post I rated down using the Rate up/down feature added in the FFXIOnline.com revamp.

While I'm here, Tarutaru DRK isn't to be counted out. Good Dexterity, Good Agility (reduces Critical Hit Rate of Enemy's hits on you for the lesser informed), Best MP, Best INT (Ever look at the damage mods for Spinning Slash, etc? Not to mention Absorb spells), plus a coolness and unique factor to them.

Skill > Gear > Race > Original Poster's IQ.

Re: Galka = Best DRK

I dont ever recall the two Knightly orders of
Vana' Diel being created by Galka. Here's a hint...it was "Elvaan"
who created the two orders.

Way back when the three nations were at war...these were the same knightly orders that got their butts kicked by Bastok and its superior technology, and then were taken down by only 3 Tarutaru mages, guerrilla style. ^_^

Do the Crawler's Nest map quest and the Ballista lisence quest from either Bastok or Windurst and find out for yourself. San d'Oria tries to keep up its facade as this mighty kingdom of knights, when really, history has shown that they're just a bunch of wartime losers. They claim that Bastok and Windurst fought dishonorably...which they did...but hey, all's fair in love and war.

No offense to any San d'Orians out there reading this...it's just a part of the game's storyline. You know how SE just loves to develop plot points such as this.

Anyway, back on topic...yes, statistically, Galkas should make the best DRK...but really, like every job, every race can be good at it.

Re: Galka = Best DRK

If you want to get picky about storylines:

Galka were whooped by Antican.
Humes were slave owners.
Taru are small.
Mithra futa is the worst.

I trailed off there at the end, but it's all true.

Re:

The bottom line is: galka are fugly like what!?

Elvaans beat them out on looks 24/7.

WHATEVER!

Those mutated Dhamel only wish they could look as sexy as us Galka. ^_^

...do some research

Re: Galka = Best DRK

To be honest I wouldn't reccomend Taru for any melee job. I know others would fight my opinion until the days ended, but I've seen way too many of them just being a drain on the party. Heck I don't even really like them being mages. When the tank gets in a jam and hate shifts they take one or two hits and it's over.

That's just me though, and that's just what goes through my mind when I'm choosing members. I don't actually say anything like that or be rude. >_>

Dark Knight is a nice job because you've got a mix of stats that each race has a strength in. Other DDs like Drg would be best left to races that specialize in Atk.

Re: Galka = Best DRK

ACtually... after doing a bit of research. At the end IF and i mean IF you do happen to find yourself in a suit of the black JSE, it is insane how much str you can add to your character. I don't know for sure, but isnt there a point where adding too much str starts to give diminished returns? An elv or galka who maxes out their str to the "cap" and then starts focusing on int i dont think will reach same numbers total INt+str as taru who reaches str cap. (which is very easy with this JSE)

Main point... when it comes to damage dealing, This black JSE which owns so hard favors taru i believe. Not only the STr and ATTk.. but the Absorb spells Effectiveness increased. Does int affect absorb spells as well? I saw in one post that the absorbed amount increases with level? this suggests it is influenced by int. taru wins...

If the Drk jse gave more INT it might be more balanced to every race, but to me the stats have taru all over it.

Drk makes use of that Int equally as the Str. So taru I think is in a very good position to do lots of damage. Especially with the "new" Jse


But also lol ,.. you would be killed in one hit.( I think I know who would be first man down come the AOE attacks, If there is a taru Drk in black JSE it would be him).
The full JSE has something like damage taken + 50 %? i just saw that in another post. Definitely armor you would want to macro in just before WS and absorbs and immediately take out.
I don't know... I personally am probably going to focus on drk with my galka. I have a taru who's pretty high in drk too, but i lost interest... playing a galka is much more fun to me. And maybe when you are using soul eater Galkas Hp makes up for the less INT in those WS that use STR and INt modifiers . I dunno. In any case Galka is not the clear and cut best drk.
Sorry i am a sloppy post... so sorry.

Re: Galka = Best DRK

Galkas may be the easiest Drk, but the best Drk are the ones who cooperate and use teamwork in thier party, not the ones with the best race, or even the best equiptment.

It is nice to have a bit of pride in your race, but you should try not to offend the very sensitive senses of all the hume and taru players.

As a note, a Mithra has the best Dex, second best Intel and MP, ties for 3rd in HP and Str.

They may not have the health to support Soul Eater, but they surely hit more then anyone else, multiplying the effect of thier attacks, wile having more then enough intel and MP to land black magic second only to taru. I think Mithra is probably the most overcomesated class in the game.
