Re: when i party with dark knights why dont they use any absorbs ; ;

I haven't touched DRK in some time, but around the time I got ABS-STR I was blown away by it.

+12 (sometimes more) STR is absolutely brutal just prior to a WS. If a BLU is in the PT, ABS-VIT + Wild Oats can lead to some nasty stuff (through Dia II into the mix for kicks with Light Shot if u're lucky enough to have COR too)

ok, I didn't see this mentioned in this thread so I'll mention it.
STR and MND are both 25% modifiers to guillotine. So if you haven't done this before, try using abs-mnd then WS guillotine, you should see a difference, and hmmmm....mabey thats way we get MND stats on our AF?!?!?!!?

Useful if you've already done Abs-STR (or plan to next). But just Abs-MND won't garner as good of results unless you're also doing it so a RDM can more easily land enfeebles.

I think your kinda missing the point.

Re: when i party with dark knights why dont they use any absorbs ; ;

I Abs-MND and Abs-VIT as RDM/DRK. I like to do MND before my debuff cycle, and I use VIT alot while solo to add a boost to my WS damage. I wish I had STR or INT as /DRK though; ;

Re: when i party with dark knights why dont they use any absorbs ; ;

I've seen them break the rules before. I've seen nearly back to back TP moves near the end of the mob's life. There were only three melee I think at that point and couldn't possibly have gotten enough TP for another move in that small amount of time. I don't know how much TP mobs get every time they make a successful strike though, but I doubt its 50% in two hits.
Also, go to Mount Zhayolm during firesday and pull an Eruca. One shot with an arrow and it would immediately use a TP move. Not just once, but every mob I pulled during the fire weather. I've never seen anything listed about it either. Have to check again and see if anyone has noticed and put it on the wiki.

EDIT: Yep, just pulled this off the wiki page:

Im just skimmin this thread but Thanks Caspian!

I actually called a GM when partying there, as we saw a *fresh* pop, and before me had even touched it, half the PT was dead from that TP move they do.

We were all like - thats impossible - GM said he would look into it, never got a reply.

Craziness!

Re: when i party with dark knights why dont they use any absorbs ; ;

ABS-MND is hardly worth the MP. Although Guilo has a _25% MND mod, MND isn't a melee attribute so it contributes insignificantly to Guilo's damage. I think the MND contributes mostly to the Silence effect.

In my opinion, I would suggest never using ABS-MND for Guillotine, it's a waste of MP that you can save for something better / more useful.
