FYI: DRK Subs in a nutshell

[Matkun]

Yeah, 200-300 is SA+TA WITH Berserk.. SA by itself is doing 100-200 at most at level 30+.

I took THF up to 37 recently, so these numbers are VERY fresh in my mind.

SA by itself with Berserk is 100-200 or so on ITs at 37.
SATA with berserk is 200-300
SATA+Berserk+Viper bite is 250-400

I'm talking lvl 23-29! NO TA or Berzerk! >_>

[Matkun]

I was agreeing with you Hisdon >_<.

Saying that without SATA it was impossible to get that much damage on ITs in that level range.

[Hisdon]

your post reads wierd, couldn't tell >_>

I personally did'nt like tha Drk as my main class, instead I decided to sub it with my samurai because i wanted the renkei and I also wanted to use the weapon combo.

I usually get plenty of PT invites for a melee fighter, either that or I'm jus too damn sexi 4 anyone not to party with. :p

Re: FYI: DRK Subs in a nutshell

Is there any reason for you to be DRK/BLM? At least explain it so we're not totally in the dark here.

Hi, I had a question about using a sub that wasn't in the first post. Would DRK/RNG work? I was thinking about trying it and I'd love some input.

It probably won't. Unless you just recently started playing this game, you should know by now that range accuracy and range attack is correspondent to your positioning relative to that of your target.

For example, you lose accuracy and attack with your bow if you're standing close enough that you can actually melee the target as well. Standing too far away from the target will also do this to you.

What does this mean? As a DRK, you are not known for your ranged attacks. You are part of a group of job classes that solely depend on melee damage for your contribution to the party.

Not being able to stand within melee range of a target, to better facilitate your range abilities will seriously hamper your contributions and thus reflect negatively with your party members.

Translation: don't do it.

Oh, I see. Thanks I didn't think about that.

Re: FYI: DRK Subs in a nutshell

Actually, /RNG is considered by many to be a very good subjob and arguably the best 20-30. The Accuracy Bonus traits affect both Ranged and Melee accuracy (roughly +10 to each at lvl 20 and about 20-22 to each at lvl 60). Because of this, it can be a decent subjob.

While /RNG really causes you to miss out on a number of other abilities from other subjobs (double attack, Berserk, Jump/High Jump, Zanshin, Meditate, etc.) the accuracy bonsuses can really help at certain levels. If your marksmanship is up, you can land Acid Bolts pretty easily with /RNG until about lvl 35 or so. Also, with the recent patch to the Ranged Accuracy and Attack, distance from the mob doesn't impact the damage/accuracy near as much as it did a month ago.

Another sub that I've been playing around with is /BLU. It's very situational and I've been using it really only at low level stuff but the debuffs it can provide can really help make the party or event go a bit smoother. At 32, DRK/BLU also has the ability to get auto-regen which helps a little bit as well if/when you use Soul Eater at that level. My DRK isn't that high level right now so I can't comment on how it is then; however, the fact that it gives more MP and a boost to stats (and the fact certain spells are based on combat skill and not blue magic skill) helps a bit. Nonetheless, it's situational.

Hope this helps.

Re: FYI: DRK Subs in a nutshell

Thanks, I guess I will keep working on /RNG then. /BLU seems interesting though. I can't get BLU yet sadly as I need to get my Boarding Pass to Al Zhabi.
