So perhaps SE is giving us SOME slack. Doesn't fix everything, but it's a welcome addition to our arsenal. Thoughts, etc.?

Why are they giving us Great Sword skill?

Perhaps to help in proc'ing red light on abyssea nms?

lol hey Monkey

My guess is so drk can have = to a+ gsword skill, but idk, stats look really nice though haste on body is very rare

Torcleaver would like a word with you.

If the great sword skill was not there the gloves would still be insane. As it is, more icing.

i would have to agree on this they did give drk better haste and stats gloves alone are smexy!

lol dusk gloves+1 XD (for drk)

Fixed it for ya

I just noticed the haste. durrrr

lol....

GREATSWORD SKILL!!!! my 8/8 merits are not worthless anymore!
gimme gimme gimme

Although there is no +mp on it, Im loving them. This is great. Gonna enjoy full timing my set. I wonder what the body does for dread spikes though. I hope it increases the amount absorbed to your full amount of hp rather than half. And enhancing abs-tp is a godsend too. All in all, good stuffs.

Why would you want +mp on them.. And what? fulltime the set? D:

If anything I can see myself using 3/5 of this set, at least for now until i get better stuff. I think the head's str and dex were made to compliment the body, but that's just me.

To help with Spinning Miss. I mean Slash.

If you're missing on spinning slash, you're doing it wrong.

The set is pretty sweet.

Best TP head other than zelus tiara, best TP body and hands, best WS/casting legs and feet.

Not to mention the Accessory with the free bale earring

It will now be possible to cap Haste on DRK (!!!) with multiple gear combinations!!!

Why would I want more magic points....really? I think thats self explanitory. And yes.....Im full timing mine. From the head to the legs. I will be "baled out". You gots a problem with it, rate me down. lol :p

It dosnt have haste, but dont forget the sweet Bale Choker!!! :3

For sure! Nor will I forget the Bale belt!

Yes, why? I have like 800-900MP on DRK/SAM inside abyssea >_>
Humes etc would have like 600 I guess, which is more than enough for an occational spell with this much meds..
And lol fulltime... learn2gearswap.

Thats fine. Grats on your 800-900 mp. As a taru i wouldnt expect less. Im a hume.....I have around 630 in abyssea and around 500 something out of it. I would have liked to have more on my AF. I didnt get it (which is no big deal) but it would have been nice. Also, I know ho to gearswap. I have very nice macros for my WS. Im still full timing it cause I can and the gearswap police dont exist.

The man has a point.

Looks like SE threw Drk another bone as well:

Atma of the Griffon's Claw
Great Sword skill+: Major
Scythe skill+: Major
(2H weapon equipped) WS damage+: Major

I sincerely hope people don't let you take seals over other DRKs <_<

HOLY ***! Now I have a reason to go back and complete the Sandy WotG quests...unless it comes from elsewhere. I didn't see that one coming, and I definitely hope this is not a troll attempt.

Lmao. Im confused how wearing full +2 armor is gimp. Please explain.

And why is that?

Because you'd be better off with mix and match for TP? Should let more serious DRKs have the best pieces first.
