Re: Drk comments from convention

Yeah, there does seem to be an Acc- on all weapons with Delay about 500. lol Like you forgot what you were doing between swings, so the lose in concentration makes you blind or something.

I've said it a bazillion times, so I'll say it again. DRK needs a TP Gimmick! WAR has Double Attack, DRG has Jump x3, SAM gets Whiff Attack, (Lv.60 Zanshin) MNK gets Kick Attacks not to mention attacking 15 times per ever Scythe swing, THF has Triple Attack, and let's not forget the listed jobs that all sub WAR or NIN their entire career.

They should give DRKs double TP bonus everytime their hits connect Incentive to actually hit the mob ...



I do notice something about subbing WAR instead of THF. I end up actually getting better hit% ... there's no hard data to back up my findings, but I tried counting misses during the times that I did get to sub WAR and the amount of misses were about 1/2 that of subbing THF. So, I'm not sure if THF is actually weak with melee ... or at least weak in double-handed weapons melee. It does make sense when you think about it in those terms. So, arguably, you don't just lose DPS with a THF sub, you actually lose accuracy from loss of skill through the subjob. This is just my conjecture though.

Oh, trust me, I'm not counting double attacks to make up for TP loss. I don't look at my TP gauge to figure out my hit%. I actually count the number of hits landed versus the hits missed. Just from that alone (sans Double Attack hits) I came up with my "soft data."

I'll agree that large delay weapons seem to miss a lot more. I get a kick out of SAMs having the "resist blind" drop trait. I think it has to do with the delay being so long that you easily notice when you miss and hit.

With MNK, I don't notice it very much when I miss. I only end up noticing a lack of accuracy if I start lagging behind TP. (I used to go toe to toe in TP with a pre-nerf RNG, for the most part. She'd pull ahead when she used barrage. Yay for haste gear.)

I'm actually kind of fearing when I try to level DRK, I love hitting fast. ._. But I want to level everything eventually.

{That's too bad.} You know, I don't have problems with either types of weapons. I seem to do just fine. The long delay doesn't bother me on DRK as much, since I am usually on stun duty or work up other spells to entertain myself (While keeping an eye on my JA timers)

Re: Drk comments from convention

i still feel like the job DRK has a -acc trait, or atleast its scythe or great sword. i was always in pts with other drks. so i was always under the impression that something was fishy. even though i had twice the acc they did, an was their lvl or higher. no way they should call 100 tp quicker then i did.
