For those sick of DRK/THF already...

[Corrado]

Fragmentation seems to get by unresisted a lot more than light for some reason.

Same with distortion. (I'm not a drk.. just reading around :3)

Personally, when I lvl with my friend off aura statues.. he subs samurai. Being that I'm a Ranger, I get tp hella quick, and with sam sub.. he does too.. so we open each fight with a fragmentation sc with all the hate on me.. not hard to tank aura statues as rng/nin with haste :sweat:

I've been wondering this for a while and this seems as good a thread to ask as any. If you were to seriously deck out your drk with acc gear. Optical Hat, Snipers+1, Peacock Charm, Adaman Hauberk(if you're lucky). You then capped your scythe skill, 276 I think, obtained Abyssal Earring, and put all 6 weapon merit points into scythe, giving you a grand total of 287 scythe skill. How effective would drk/war weilding a scythe be vs Gods and uber HNMs with that much acc and that much skill in scythe? Right now, I play drk/thf with a greatsword vs Gods, like most drk I know, and I do ok with landing hits. My greatsword skill is capped at 269 and I was thinking the extra 18 points would be a huge benefit as would the extra 13 damage death scythe has over Balin's. Thats not even mentioning the benefits of berserk and double attack. The only problem is that Santa + Spinning slash is sooo good on Gods I'm very hesitant to give it up. Has anyone out there tried drk/war with a scythe vs high end HNMs and compared damage output to the standard drk/thf with greatsword?

[Awntawn]

i dun /thf on gods... hell on anything i dun have to. total damage output is weaker IMO, you hit more with /war, get TP faster, and deal more per hit. Makes up for the fact that your WS damage is halved, imo. Possible exception would be genbu, 200-ish WS w/ war sub and 600~700ish w/ /thf ;/

aura statues just resist dark a little bit less than light. if you have a BLM though, you'd opt to just do light because the burst is about 200-500 higher with g-thunder vs g-blizzard. Evisc is about as bad as groundstrike sometimes, i still say if you have some desire to sub WAR and start renkeis, just level your 1h axe.

[Awntawn]

dude man enough with the drk deci D;/ B weapon won't cut the slack man D;/

[Aldo]

i beg to differ, we have ample accuracy+ equipment, and even aura statues range from VT-IT, i think my arguement is plausible. *cough use your merit points* :angel:

[Awntawn]

merit points on 1h axe my ass D;/

that's about as futile and pathetic as wars trying to be attackers >.>

[MAK]

I'm sorry but anything that can double attack,berserk,acc+,warcry and use byakkos haidete AND use sneak attack subbed without losing all of the above is not pathetic

[RukawaSCSU]

misread something @@

[Crowzukin]

Yes but axes are not sexy

[gix]

sure they are, tabarzin is sweet^^

[ClydeArrowny]

Next pt with MAK im gonna parse stats of him as drk/war doing cross>evis renkei. Thinking I might try war sub for this as berserk helps multi hit WS a lot more than 1 extra hit on the end. I'll post back here on how it goes....whenever we get a chance to PT that is >.>

I don't know, I've seen some awesome warrios in action and it's made me wonder if perhaps they aren't overpowered. I mean they can tank well and do big damage. How is that fair? Shouldn't there be a trade-off? There sure as hell is for anything DRK does.

I was leveling off Toramas at 62 and we had a 61 War in the group (PLD Tank btw) using Raging Rush, he was pulling off about 200+ while with Guillotine I was doing about 400-500+ So they are ok damage dealers in my opinion, although im not lvl 70+ so I dont know if they improve in damage.

There's a Warrior who I used to party with from 65-70 (he's since surpassed me in lvl so we can't party) and one of his one-handed axes hit for almost as much as one swing from my GS or Scythe, however with the combined delay I'd say overall we did the same damage each round unless I missed. (specially me). However he got Tp quick and could unleas Mistral Axe or Rampage for 400-500 consistantly, and didn't have to worry about hate.

For the record: I love/loved partying with him because he could do enough damage to take hate from the PLD so I could SATA on him every time. And if he couldn't, I could just SATA on the War himself and everything was cool. Still though, it makes me think the that perhaps warrior is a bit over-powered.

NOTE: We both had virtually the same equip, really good stuff.
