So if SE really wants drks to use magic more why havent they made our magic more effective...

The could have given us native magic att. bonuses or heres a new thought, a ja that drops our physical att. stats but raises our magic stats. kinda like Sch white magic/black magic but it would be pysical DD/magical DD...

ja could be....

Arcane Decision (lmao)
5min duraion
15min cool down
converts Pysical stats and traits to magical stats and traits (att bonus - m att. bonus)(str - int) (vit - mnd)

I know most drks just wanna do more pysical damage but it would be nice to have some other options now and then.

This thought brought to you by attemps to nuke solo megamaw mikey... (lmao)

However, sitting at 2/6 Fuernenke does make you start thinking of stuff like this.

Not sure what you mean by this. Do you mean you usually go either PLD or BLM and you'd like to able to do both with just DRK, say in an event that calls need for both and you're simply the only person who can be both?

Well uh. Wear PLD stuff when being a PLD, and wear BLM stuff while being a BLM? I don't think theres any specific strategies other than use Drain+Drain II a lot.

He wants to kill the doomed on DRK for a Magian Trial, and since Drain won't work on the Doomed, he needs to rely on nukes + refresh and attempt to solo it at the Xarc pinning spot. It seems like he's forced onto BLM + PLD though for groups and can't get credit for his weapon.

I don't see this being a horrible idea. I don't think I would ever use it, but having the option there wouldn't hurt anything.

YAY! After a small haiatus from FFXI I come back. To my utmost delight SE has finally realized DRKs true potential of Elemental Magic! With things like tier III nukes, a higher level with a higher Elemental Magic skill, and Occult Acumen I finally have a reason to dust off my old MP/MAB/MACC/INT/Elem Magic Skill build! Thanks SE for finally throwing us a bone, I knew my long hours of skilling elemental magic skill would finally pay off! :D

I have an amazing idea to add to the route your going, SE. Abandon it, like we have abandoned our hopes of you spending less time pretending to know these jobs and more time paying attention to what we do with them. Seriously, do you ever stop and ask yourself if we, THE PAYING CUSTOMER, want the sh*t your throwing at us? Get your head out of your a$$ and realize DRK shouldn't even have elemental magic. How about pay attention to the people that pay your salery a$$holes. You can't even give us Auto-Refresh as a JT and expect us to use our valuable MP for nukes? FU. Kthx

On the other hand, aspir 2 is nice, endark is awesome in so many ways (like making that KC/M. Kris/what have you potentially useful the other 1:59:30 of your life, not to mention giving a potentially better than berserk boost to your damage that you can fulltime (And I think doesn't add hate, if it's like other enspells)). Drk is getting boosts to -it's- magic, just not the random strange blm carryovers that I admit make no sense. Still, beats having to skillup elemental on my blm. *Shrugs*

They gave us Tier IIIs just to stay on track. You aren't forced to use them.

Endark, on the other hand, is potentially 1275 damage for 24mp. I'll throw the details up in the non-necro'd thread though.

Our magic is designed to supplement our physical damage, not replace it or compete with mages. We don't expect Blms to match our physical damage output. I use all my absorbs (cept when in Abyssea - only use Ab-TP and Ab-Acc there), Endark, Dread Spikes, Drain II, Aspir II, and the occasional MB with tier 2 or 3 magic depending on the skillchain. I think the magic I use the least are my enfeebling spells like Sleep or Poison.
