You and everyone else on Leviathan lol
Dunno who you are, but I can get you back in the SRK Linkshell, SRK the FC was disbanded awhile ago, and the FC that picked us up, most of us have left and are in different FC’s.
Hit me up in game for invite to LS if you need it Marie McCray

I have an AMAZING idea for a new job, and I’m pissed it’ll never happen.
Role: Mid-Ranged Caster DPS
Weapon: Talisman/Pendant
Main Stat: Intelligence
It’d have both instant cast weapon skills and ones with cast times. The instant ones would function like any other melee DPS’ attacks, dealing magic damage from a distance. The interesting thing, however, is that these skills would work like Mudras do. Different combinations and orders of skills would proc a skill with a cast time. For example… ThunderStrike>Hydroball would proc a Levin Storm(AOE nuke), Hydroball>Fireball would proc a Smokescreen(AOE Blind). Regular attacks(ThunderStrike, Hydroball) would cost TP while the ones with cast times(Levin Storm) would cost MP(quite a lot so they’re not too spammable). In order to compensate for needing two resources, they’d have GCD weapon skills that restore MP on hit. Those would also combine with other skills to create abilities that steal even more TP/MP/HP from the enemy.
They’d cast spells using their bare hands, alternating hands between attacks like Vegeta spamming Ki blasts. For the bigger attacks, they’d float and charge energy in both hands before combining them and initiating the attack. While their weapon is drawn, they’d hover instead of brandishing it like other jobs, and glide instead of walking/running.
Man, I wish I worked for SE…
Is it just me, or is GLA the worst tank that ever did tank? I was leveling it to 22 so I could get Provoke to use on my DRK, and I absolutely could not hold aggro in those low level dungeons. I was going to level it to 30 and unlock PLD, but…

GLD Doesn’t have shit until later on.
Yea, I figured. No Circle of Scorn or any other form of AOE until 50? WTF?
So just hit 60 with my DRK, had a 50 MNK for awhile and did some of final coil. On attributes what are people thinking a DRK should run? i’m currently probably 4 : 1 ratio VIT / STR (14200 health with VIT accessories) and don’t seem to have any issues with health unless I have a really large pull and even then cooldowns seem to manage fine. Lots of stuff I’ve been reading says I should go either all STR or mostly STR but maybe its just not trusting pug healers, but on harder content getting down to below the 4-5k threshold doesn’t seem terribly uncommon which would kill me as full strength & all strength accessories would put me in the 9k health range. What are people’s opinions here. Loving DRK as you almost always have an off global cooldown button to mess with so i get to press a lot of buttons and their threat generation is ridiculous while having better mitigation then warrior as a MT even if living dead sucks ass.
Is there a target HP to shoot for?

Yea. A lot of classes and jobs get AoE shit early on, and it makes it hard as shit to keep up emnity. Until you get PLD you’re pretty much just barely keeping Aggro on everything, and to do that you have to constantly change targets to make sure no ones drawing aggro.
Once you get PLD though you can pretty much stand around and watch as everything is always aggro’d most of the time.

Flash after every 1 or 2 combos, EZPZ
Also if you mark targets so dps isn’t bad and you don’t have someone nuking an something you are not attacking this will work. Flash won’t typically hold aggro against most single target dps attacking the wrong target. It’ll hold summoner dots & heals though easily enough.
Screw it… I’m just gonna keep playing the incredibly fun Dark Knight. If I ever maybe want to try another Tank, I’ll level Warrior or wait for Samurai. Fuck Paladin.
If you cant play Paladin, your a shitty ass tank, no offense. I took Paladin to 50 and i rocked that shit to. Its really not that hard if you mark consistantly so everyone knows what the plan is.
I can play it. It’s just a chore to play, it’s boring, and Dark Knight is better. At low levels, whether you mark or not, GLA has huge issues holding aggro. I can’t fathom dealing with that all the way to 34 for an ability I’d never use on DRK.
I never had problem holding aggro when the rest of the team was on point.
DRK is really fun, i had to switch from controller to keyboard & mouse though. At 60 I have like 12+ oGCD i need to keep track of and since you can only see 1 bar at a time on controller don’t see how you can use controller. Wish there was a way to use the normal hotbar layout but bind controller inputs to it. Movement on controller is 100 times better but not being able to see all my oGCD’s at once is just a no go.
Thaumaturges and Lancers fight against my aggro more than they fight against the mobs. I watch the enmity meter, and they constantly hover around 90%.
I have an amazing solution for that…

Had to come up with something when I got DRG to 60. Still a lot of crossbar switching for a lot of Jobs, but this minimizes the need to switch back and forth to check if an ability is off cooldown. PS3 players are kinda fucked, though, since they can’t do this or use KB+M.
