Drks No Hit Build Update.

It will be interesting to see exactly where this goes. Of the two abilities the first has the most potential if any.

A new ability that sacrifices TP gain to make attacks more powerful.

This could go a few different ways. It's sacrifice would either be a negative store tp or no tp gain at all. The hope is that the damage gained from melee swings can overtake the damage lost in weaponskill frequency.

What I would hope for would be an impact on TP gain (Flooring TP/Swing or -% store tp) in exchange for a large ODD percentage or a straight %+ damage increase to melee hits.

The concern of this imo is people who rely on an aftermath to maximize their weapon's potential. No or very slow tp gain kills these weapons depending on the JA's recast and effects.

A new ability that raises the amount of damage the dark knight takes, but also raises the amount of magic and elemental weapon skill damage it deals.

On the surface this looks like situational ***but could be somewhat useful situational ***. Although I can't think of a situation where I actually nuke on drk. Now if this stacks with NV and Drain II, ill like it on occasion.

Any thoughts on this besides loldrk?

Btw loldrk.

Doesn't the French description say 0 TP?

I might be doing something like this



or be using calmecac trousers instead.

It does.

so i guess we pretty much make haste/dex build?

*grabs half-finished magian DEX scythe out of storage...*

Time to cast nukes to get TP :D

Or a magnus scythe, so you can ODD that ODD while waiting on AF3 ODD to proc!

or a 90sec aftermath from torcleaver that i hope would stack with this >_>

Nonsense! Real DRKs don't ue GSs

/hi5

well if its true we will have 0 tp gain >_> i'd say go for the faster hitting hard hitting weapon when it comes to aftermath effects stacked with it...I could see Ragnarök being good with this

desperate blows says hi

It is going to have to be a really substantial increase in ODD to offset the loss of WS damage. Knowing how SE do things, don't get your hopes up. As for the elemental damage boost, that's as good as useless unless you are going to solo.

bet its all going to be bad. we should just ignore any update news on drk until we see it in game first

Idk, there are certain select situations where I find Infernal Scythe to be useful, like mobs with instances of physical immunity, or physical absorption. Those are rarefied instances, but they'd be instances I'd be willing to boost my ele WS damage.

As for the other move, I share the opinion that it will likely be useless, but also share the hope that it might be awesome. Again, even that move I am imagining times it could be useful. NM's like Bugul Noz that like to kill your tp before you have a chance to WS.

Those are my thoughts on the matter, but who knows? Not like I haven't been wrong before.
