yes that's right, now that SE has fully "patched up" the "broken" PLD with the awesome new adjustments, it seems that it's time to focus on the DRK! during (not so) recent updates we've seen DRK got some pretty neat changes, mainly shortened cast times of absorb spells and the new absorb-TP spell. i guess THAT alone doesnt make DRK powerful enough, so now they get this (taken from POL site): - Drain II (Lv.62 Recast Time: 3 minutes Duration: 1 minute) Steals an enemy's HP, potentially increasing maximum HP. Ineffective against undead. - Dread Spikes (Lv.71 Recast Time: 3 minutes Duration: 1 minute) Covers you with magical darkness spikes. Steals HP from enemies that hit you. Ineffective against undead. sweet this rocks, gives DRK 2 new additional ways to heal themselves, plus this makes them better at soloing too. looks like SE is taking up one job at a time and boosting them, i really just cant wait until/if this happens to one of the jobs im playing ;-; oh and this should be a good reason for Thow to start playing more

well you can look at it like this, PLD = ultimate tank, and in a meripo you dont need an ultimate tank
a regular NIN or a couple WARs will do, the fights arnt hard enough for a pld to be useful
...anyway i think it's kind of unfair that BLM doesnt get those 2 spells. i mean they have as high a skill in dark magic as drks do so why not

Because blms get ancient magic =P
and drks are all about hurting others, doing as much damage as possible, and they are melee....
that's my reasoning anyhow, maybe they should get it, idk =P

yea dread spikes works in the opposite manner of blood weapon, when you take 134 dmg you drain 134 hp from the target. there was a glitch a while back that allowed you to cast dread spikes nonstop when seigan/third eye were active (didnt have to wait for the long recast timer). you would have been able to solo gods O.o
only downside with the spikes spell is that it costs 78 MP T.T
but yea it will definately save your life if you get massive hate and are taking a lot of damage (say doing SATA WS and TA doesnt go off...lol)

the glitch got fixed about a week after the update was released, but that spell is still hella good. just last night when no thief in dynamis has perfect dodge up, our drk decided she would sac pull. he stayed up with flee and dread spikes twice as long as the thieves T.T

wow thats awesome, it seems like a kick ass spell and im sure i could set it so that if i use last resort and zerk at the same time and drop my Def by a crap load i could get almost all my health back XD does it work on things like self destruct XD?

Probably not, i've never seen it used, but the 3 elemental spike spells only work when you are physically attacked by a normal hit, not TP attacks or spells =/

that's true, that spell makes drk an awesome soloer (atleast now with signet and all). and yea yuro's right it only works when normal physical attacks hit you
