Drk Today

Numbers and logic are painful things.

I guess.

CRAWLING IN MY SKINNNNN

Thank you all for the replys, well i do have ragnarok and if i remember right i upgraded to 119 version.

Was kinda hoping Scythe wold be on top of GS but i do like GS anyways, and even tough ppl suggest Drk is not very high in the tiers atm it always was my fav job and will always be so ill just deal whit it and try to max it the best i can.

you must be going for the troll title then.

fTP is always expressed as a fraction of 1024. 25/256 for the belt and gorget is correct.

It is funny you talk about troll bait when you do the exact same thing, especially after the 30k savage was proven, as well was the rdm is a dd, as rdm was on par or beating many "better" DD jobs with rema weapons.

There is a bigger problem than someone coming in and saying they can do something that nobody else can do.

It is the fact very few people can replicate it, so other players act like little children with their "pic or it didn't happen" then ignore any and all evidence that proves it is possible. The childish mentality of "I can't do/see it, means it can't happen." Needs to just die out already.

People argued with me for months trying to say reso/rag was the best dps option, people argued with me saying scythe can't DD, now.... months later people are doing the very same thing I was saying long ago. Congrats, you are more behind the curve than they were.

The 8k hits is very possible, really not a far reaching concept, it wouldn't be 100% of the time, if anything you might be able to get a 15-20%

Assuming you have sam roll from a half decent cor you can lower your sTP in gear during tp phase and change it out for more crit rate gear.

For the sake of argument lets say you have 20% crit rate gear, stacked with AM3 on empy weapon, which is triple damage 50% of the time AND it procs on multi-hit. That means 10% (not likely, but possible) of your hits can deal triple dmg crit gear. No it won't happen all the time, but a few is enough to make a difference.

With yetshila and valorous feet alone that is an additional 9% crit Dmg.

I really don't see how this isn't a possible concept, especially when so many people in the past have already dealt this dmg. Then again... it looks like you are still on the bluwagon so I can see why you don't believe anything anyone would tell you differently.

On a final note, don't praise someone that subs /war and pops all ja with a human geo and 5 tiers of smite to hit a whole 38k spike dmg reso. That is pretty average for drk right now. You want context on what some of us are doing? we are testing on crabs in the lowest possible attk+/mob-def situations so we can get a base line of what drk is capable of.

If for some dim witted reason you think you need to /war and burn every ja you have for -55% def (depending on merits and if you kill your own dps by using reforge feet) when you are already capping attack on drk/sam very easily, at least ds/nv drain 3 and dread spikes so you don't get 3 shot by a lvl 129 crab.

As for schah? Drk is the clear winner all day long on schah, arcane circle/crest. A drk will keep up with if not beat a war all day long. No top geared war will ever mop the floor with a top geared drk. Even during mighty strikes a drk can run soul enslavement and keep solid pace with a war. Tack on 9k hp, souleater/bloodweapon, not only are you better defensively but you will surpass that war.

Just because someone post a video of themselves doesn't mean it is a great video or even good evidence. It means they hit record. That is it. Videos and pics are garbage information, all it is, petty *** swinging where everyone can see your flaws as you toot your own horn on how great you think you are because apparently you play with bad players that for some terrible reason can't beat you. I *** hate using pics/videos, but it seems little kids think that is the only way to prove anything, even then they get butt hurt and ignore the information when you post it, instead they follow trash videos barely staying alive against a 129 crab thinking that is amazing dps and a great way to play.

Want real data, parse everything, parse against everyone you play. Beat people with lesser buffs than they have, beat people on lower jobs, go spend hours each week tweaking your gear. NEVER under any circumstances think you are the best or you have the best gear or nobody can beat you or that you can't do better. That is the moment you stop getting better and begin to decline.

nearly any job with savage blade can break 30k, the ws is just very exploitable and rdm can do it better than most (all?) simply due to the fact they have massive +str and mnd together (spells). Ive broken 40k on drk lots of times too, but normally have just sub of 30k on most things when buffed properly. Plus having actually done events with Thorva I can tell you that yes, 30k is a very common occurrence, and if this surprises you idk why.... doesnt your blu have sequence too? Mine does and I can break 30k on blu just fine on helms which would have less str/mnd than a rdm. All the cors/blu/war who we use for savage spam on helms in my ls also dont have an issue, maybe it wont avg-30k, but mid 20s is a real common occurrence. I can remember our ls cor savaging 28k on a schah once, with me, another blu, and a war all pulling in 22-24k~ avg too same fight. Same ***happens when we do worm, teles, T3s etc. Omen bosses too where I've dozen 100+ by now with thorva also is very easy to get 30k on savage buffed.

Lets try to stop attacking each other personally. I think its childish in general that is happening every drk forum, but I can see that it will be a forever thing. Just because you havent done something doesnt mean someone else hasnt. Just because you dislike a person does not make them a bad player, maybe just a bad person. Its that simple.

When was the last time you did 150 content unbuffed? would it even be winnable lol? Would be kinda fun to have a challnege since so many are easy now. 18 hr pw go!

That's where his claims of 30k+ savages came, just pointing that out lol and no, i dont do 150 unbuffed.

Did you use...souleater first?

{Last Resort}

RDM just needs a pair of dice ...

:0 be epic souleater>last resort>bezerk and watch whm lose their mind! Or just use apoc ;0

Thoughts on Drk Group 2 Merits? I am currently @5/5 Diabolic Eye & Desperate Blows. I see some are taking 5/5 Dark Seal? Is this a thing? Or, just random discussion on maxing out each spell/ability even though it is not possible to have it all?

Max duration from Relic head, so you can full time HP+ with NV/DS Drain 3. As long as you can drain your target you can full time 5000+ HP, landing a darkness burst youll sit at 9999HP.

Most DRKs I know are making the switch from GSWD to Scythe, not the other way around, these days.

Schere Earring is an amazing tool for survivability while improving dps- not often a pairing we get. And Scythe synergizes so much better with Schere due to Entropy allowing you to refill your MP to 100% even when used against mobs without MP, and still fits into the long chains that Scythe loves.

And Sakpata fits into lovely TP sets for pretty much any DRK RMEA outside of Liberator, also improving both dps and survival at the same time. One needn't move to Caladbolg to take advantage of what Sakpata offers.

I'd reconsider "moving" from Scythe to GSWD. Not saying you shouldn't build one, its important to have options, but that doesn't mean that your scythes should gather dust.

I love being a Scythe Drk. Just coming back now for 2.5 months after 9 years gone. I enjoy the versatility and fineness of Scythe. I figure, if I wanted to just smash hulk smash, I would play War, lol. Thoughts on Group 2 merit balance?
