I can out dmg ANY DRK ANYTIME ANYWHERE, and still be lauging with more than half my mp after the fight. THIS IS FACT

First of all I want to say Sedna made a very good post. The fact that dragoons get shafted on some nice EQ is why they are limited in there end game damage (Like they can't use this sword for instance). That doesn't mean they aren't good DD's though. A dragons DOT is very good and i've seen them gain tp really fast.

The problem with the dragoon in my option is how it fits into a party. I'm a war/nin and i'd have to say 68+ most of my PT's have been nin, thf, war, mage,mage,mage. I am pretty much there to get hate and open with minstral axe while the thf then closes with SATA shark bite on the ninja. It works well esp with MB. I also haven't PT'ed with a drk in a long time but mistral axe and spinning slash worked well also. Now my point is if the PT was nin drg war mage mage mage, exp would suck. Not because drgs suck, or that the player who is playing the drg sucks but the PT set up sucks. We can't make a light SC, the ninja won't hold hate if the blm over nukes ect.

Also to the person who said drk can kick warriors with with damage when it comes to krakken / ridill you might be right but a GOOD warrior would go Juggernant / riddil and have the +30 att and very fast tp gain for rampage ^_^. Yes that combo out damages rangers and they have utsumni NI to back it!

#REDACTED, Posted: May 19 2005 at 3:56 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Ok.. let me start off by saying that a good Drk owns every other DDing job including rng and blm. How u ask? rng may hit for a good bit of dmg and not miss much, but a good Drk will out dmg a rng hit for hit and rarely miss. Now even if a rng manages to get ahead of a drk in dmg, Drk will deal ALOT more in WS dmg then rng will so in the end drk deals more... If the rng manages to hit thier WS =P. Now for blm, sure blm can come out of the gates hard and dealing alot of dmg right off the bat, but once thier mp runs out its game over, drk would deal a ton more dmg in the time it takes for a blm to full heal mp, end of story.

Are you a complete idiot?
Rng can do 160+ 30 additonal effect with O bow, on exp mobs while drk hits for 80-100, and O bow has less delay, also rng get TP twice as fast as DRK, and on top of that rng can do a mass amount of dmg in a short time every 5 mins, by doing Sharpshot> Slug shot, Barrage, Slug shot.

Hmm, It's not rare to find (on a good drk) 90~95% accuracy and hitting 100+ with 800~1400 Spinning slash to close a 400~1100 light. In DoT Drk is better then rng IMHO. But as always Better gear will make the stronger player.

RE: ...

Actually I normally always out damaged RNG even before update and now I do it even more. And DRKs are the best Melee DD but have War, Sam, Rng, Mnk, and even Drg nipping at their feet. Its also how you play the job and the equipment you use. Over all DD, Blm is best hands down. I am not a modest DRK but i know that BLM will out DMG me spell for attack every day of the week. Yes our WSs may do more occasionally but over all we wouldnt stand a chance to win a DD contested. Melee wise, yet again, we win but its still close.

I think what hes trying to say is people shout give DRK more propz imo thats so true everyone is RNG horny , but hell yeah RNG is handy for HNM that are kited but in other situations or other kinds of Gods and hnm ***** that I can deal more damage then a RNG + I would NOT get hate considering of my dandy THF sub job. No drk doesnt 0wn every other DD but alot of people say DRK sucks , well in reality its one of the most Damaging jobs in the game if you play it well.

I see what hes saying sure RNG DRG WAR SAM are all great DD's but DRK can outdamage them all like it or not but dont get propz for it instead people look down on most and go like ppssh hes a DRK , **** like that. Drk is a hard job to play and even harder when people talk **** about it.

"BLM, RNG & DRK are seeking. Which do you think gets the invite? " prolly the ranger and the BLM but that doesnt mean DRK arent good , as of now i havent had a RNG outdamaging me , sure some may do it in Regulair hits but I keep up with TP i rarely miss and /equip macro's are god and during every WS i outdamage them. I close the chain , i SATA i make sure that hate keeps on the tank. if were in EXP its dead , when in a God or HNM fight DRK's make sure Hate is being bounced when needed , we stun those nasty spells , we help Nins when they need there goddamn shadows , we can also Enfeeble , Do u know that Absorb-MND is really neet >.>. RNG and other DD's are good jobs , but RNG and SAM DO NOT OUTDAMAGE DRK , sure they serve there purposes RNG is an awsome SC opener , they can shoot **** and do lota damage while **** is being kited , every job has their own unique values to different situations.

He just made this post cuase DRK always gets pissed on and lotta people dont see what DRK is capeble off. Btw if u know a good DRK on ur server invite a RNG and that DRK , then come post here again.

Wow. What a truly ignorant statement. A RNG with capped dmg compared to a DRK with capped dmg isn't even close. Add in the TP generation from Barrage and you can do 2 WS per mob. And comparing yourself to a blm and saying when a BLM rests you end up out damaging it? Have you seen a Freeze MB? I haven't seen any mage rest in a fight since lvl 50ish.

I think DRK are great DD, but they dont "own every other DDing job" not even close.

Double Attack

Quote:
Double Attack and Ridill's effect don't stack, in that it will not ever hit more than three times. At least, it hasn't for me in a lot of usage.


Ridill/K.Club/Mercucial/etc are affected by DA.
Thing is DA doesnt make the weapon attack twice (2-6 hits) it simply adds an extra hit onto the end (2-4).

I should say I've only seen that with K.Club and mercuial(9/4 hit attacks), though I doubt ridill strangely operates differently from them.

The thing you have to remember with multihit attacks is that it's VERY hard to see where one round of attacks end and the next one begins when it's that many attacks, so many people end up counting the attacks from 2 to up to 4 rounds of attacks as one because there simply isn't any delay between the individual rounds like there usually is.

Additionally the Kraken club sometimes hits so fast that the games graphics engine isn't even capable of rendering all the hits, making it downright impossible to count the hits.

-.- It's funny how you attack a job trying to compare it to another completely different job. But what you're not seeing, is sure, drks may have better short time damage, but in the long run a warrior will out damage a drk any day. It's all about delays. While you end up missing probably 1/5 swings which is usually about 1 swing every 5 seconds, a warrior can dual wield axe's and even if the warrior misses 1/5 swings, he still makes up for your misses in the long run. drk delay is very slow. Powerful, yes. But slow. I would much rather have the DOT instead of a large amount of damage right up front. Please before you make another foolish post, think before you do it.

Every job has it's plus side. Every job has it's negitive side. Don't argue saying which is better because, in all honesty, every job is just as important as the next, excluding drg. I know I am probably going to get bashed for saying drg sucks, but, they do.

Now if you want to fight which job is better, do it between rng and blm. Atleast you'll be putting up a good debate there.

lol im a DRK and i <3 to pt with DRG id pick a good DRG over a Ranger.

Before 65 Rangers are pretty darn good , after 65 ugh 9 out of 10 cant even turn the mob for me to sata back on. and ofcourse those people suck but a sucky DRG is able to turn the mob for me to SATA on O.o so Sucky rng cant turn mob but a Sucky DRG can O.o.

DRG's no sweat! they do medium DMG with their WS's and can use provoke to Turn the mob wich is i think verry important when u play with a drk/thf.

btw in a reply to ur DRK post when i play Dark Knight i have alot of macro's and i only use about 5 for Abilities and Ws's the rest is all /equip macro. with sole Sushi and full ACC gear I rarely miss , sure Sole sushi is needed but that doesnt change the situation that i rarely miss. I figure 1/15 , I think i speak for alotta DRK's that sole sushi is the best thing SE did in a long time >.>. Burst Damage is cool when used correctly. Im not saying WAR sucks but they dont outdamage a WAR in EXP... sure we hit slow but becuase of sole sushi we do hit when we are supposed to. Thus gain tp quicker , still slower then any other job but i dont know jobs that can do 1400+ DMG per WS and not get hate. Also if the mob is not dead from that burst attack u can leave souleater on and do an additional 200-300 per hit and not get hate. <3 that abilitie! btw back on the DRG topic

Did u know DRG's are also awsome soloers , they can sub whm and there ******* wyvern does Healing Wind. Thats tight stuff.

DRG is like most mellee jobs a hard job to play but when played correctly its ******* awsome and DRG is one of my favorite jobs to exp with. Oh yeah and there wyvern hits everytime to for 50% of there Damage so if a DRG hits for 100 and there wyvern hits for 50 they actually do 150 per hit. thats about how much i hit. Drk gets Absorb spells to use to their Advantage , DRG gets jump abilities and ofcourse a bad *** wyvern to their assistence. DRG's are not uselless i would say there pure mellee.

All in all if u speak from a EXP point of view it depends on the PT set up. And Rng's with all do respect are over rated i think , sure they can hit a mob while kited and stuff like that. To be totally honest the only job that is like usefull in all Situations is BLM.

in conclusion:
Every job serves a purpose , its all about set up and the person behind the job.

RE: war naah
# May 01 2005 at 3:27 PM Rating: Decent
^^)/ ... I find it amusing that while attempting to show that all jobs are useful, you can't help but put down another job. I also find it amusing that your opinion is based on what I can only assume comes from your expansive experience as a BLM, SMN, WHM and RDM. I'm sure you have obtained a wealth of information while standing at the back casting your spells. The truth is, as someone else has already mentioned, there are no worthless jobs, just ignorant people. I will quite willingly grant that the number of bad dragoons outnumber the good ones by a substantial amount. But to that same note, it is unfair of you to claim that they are the ONLY bad job, when in fact, a well played dragoon can in fact match or out-damage most DD excluding Ranger. On that same note, a well played DRK, WAR or THF can as well match or out-damage a DRG. The thing is, Dragoon does not have SATA, Souleater/Last Resort, Aggressor, access to high end equip that adds heavily to attack and accuracy (except the Assault Jerkin) etc. So for me to match or out-damage these jobs, as well as ALWAYS out-tp all DD but Samurai and Ranger, I feel that people are missing the truth about DRG when played to it's fullest. Keep in mind as well, I out-tp without food. DRG's when played well do not miss. My hits average 100DMG on IT's. My WS's average 300-700DMG without SATA. Anyone who has partied with me could verify this information. I've seen warriors pump out that same damage. Honestly, I feel warriors and dragoons are the two most misunderstood jobs in the game. But all it takes is a couple parties with a couple good ones, and you'd understand that we're actually some of the more reliable DD. So please, before you judge us, give it some more time and try to play with some good ones. Or better yet, give the job a try yourself. See if you have the skills that it takes to properly equip your character to maximize your damage and TP output. To be able to work with the abilities that were given to you to dish out a 400DMG Jump on an IT creature. To put out a 700-1k DMG Rampage on an IT. Try to put your money where your mouth is, and show that you can be a little more versatile than /ma "Thundaga III" <t>.
To end, please understand that I have played, and will continue to play mages, and DD. I love the job of DRK, but still prefer DRG. I have no disrespect towards any job. Simply the people who play them. With that said, enjoy playing the game with a blinded peripheral view of the other jobs there are.

You were right about getting bashed for calling dragoon worthless. Obviously, you've never seen a well played dragoon. I know one personally who can and often does outdamage drks in weaponskills and DoT on ITs. And that doesn't include his wyvern damage and breaths. Plus the fact that, depending on subs, Dragoon can act not only as DD but as a pretty effective healer (7 mp for a 250-300 hp cure), can solo toughs, keep up in TP with thieves and rangers, etc. How many jobs can ws 500dmg on ITs twice a fight and heal their party members at the same time? (and I'm not exaggerating...)

Attitudes like yours are the reason that Dragoons never get a chance to prove themselves. I can't even count how many times parties of mine have been unwilling to take Dragoons because all they've heard, over and over, is that the job is worthless and does no damage. The fact is that there are NO worthless jobs in this game, just stupid people who never learn any differently because they're unwilling to give a "worthless job" a chance.

So before you get on your DD high-horse, maybe you should do a little research.

look, the simple fact is that only 1/100 drks are actually worth a ****, you may say "oh yeah, i outdmg drks all the time, they suck" and dont get me wrong alot of them do, but to say that one job is better than another is just pronouncing your noobishness, in the end, the best played drk does the same dmg as the best played war or the best dragoon and the best sam, but its true that there arent the best players running around, so b4 you say that your job is "better" think about if you've seen the best that job has to offer.

First off:
1.) Double attack does NOT stack with dual wielding a Kraken Club & Ridill. This means, IF you are lucky enough to get the Kraken Club to hit 8 times, and the Ridill to hit for 3, thats 11. Double Attack makes 12. Not 22. It just adds 1 single attack. Way to look up facts.

2.) You're saying Warrior is the cheapest job, yet you list the most expensive items. Tsk Tsk. Do you know how much a Kraken Club goes for if you don't get the drop? Try around 35-40million (Alexander). Right there is more than most people can earn in their gametime (unless they spend a LOT of time), but nevertheless, unless you buy all your gil, 35-40 mil is not what one would call cheap.

3.) You say PLD and DRK would disapear. Yes, good conclusion. PLD would disapear from the realm of DDs. Ah yes. The power of PLD DD. Good facts. What about all the other DD classes? Warrior is the best, yet it only outranks PLD and DRK? Play the game.

4.) We already know WAR is a DD. That's quite obvious. Tank and DD, yes, after level 74, when they aquire Utsusemi:Ni. But if they are tanking, they don't have as much time to DD.

5.) What are you talking about??? Since when can WAR cast Aspir?? Hell, since when have WARs had MP without a magic sub?!

6.) {Um...} Try using periods.

/end rant

P.S. -- If your brother is the one who told you to write that, which I highly doubt, he must be one low level.

Well, Double attack can trigger on both weapons once, for 3+8+2, no? Assuming each weapon hits as many times as it can, and the double attack does go off. Of course, I have neither a Kraken club nor Ridill, so I'm basing my speculation entirely on my experience as a war dual-wielding axes.

I do see your point, though, that it won't add attacks on the added attacks the weapons grant.

Right right, ok. Warrior is the cheapest job huh? Few mil for Haubergeon/Hauberk, half a mil for bomb core, 1.2 mil for snipers, a mil for lvl 71 axes, etc. etc. Mhmm, real cheap. Another thing, look at the damage rating on Kraken, very nice for tp gain but about as damaging as a baby rattle and insanely tough to get your hands on. Now, I can see with haste and double attack bonus yadda yadda you can get a bunch of vorpal or savage blades off but most damaging class in the game because of it? heheh, not likely.

Our sword skill isn't too hot and our club skill is even worse, not to mention the lack damage output from the weapons themselves. Most of the higher level stuff you fight has incredibly high defense and evasion, I would be shocked if you could even hit anything with a club at that level even if you were hopped up on Acc+ gear and food.

Something else you haven't thought of: Drk can use both Kraken and Ridill too. Drk can sub nin! Drk can go Ridill/Kraken combo just the same! no double attack yes, but they have more attack power than War does.

All I am saying is: even if you use the best "zomgwtfbbq" gear at lvl 75 a War/Nin with Kraken/Ridill won't blow a Drk or Pld out of the water, it dosn't work like that :) Although it would be rather sexy-looking, i'll give you that.

Did you just compare a 74 WAR/NINs dmg with a PLD/WARs??? That's like comparing apples and jello.

personally i find the best job for this weapon to be a THF, use this and some dagger, if u are rich a harpe (with 29 dmg and less delay then regular knives) you would build TP extremely fast and SATA would hit ALOT harder.

anyway, this and greed scimitar are some of the only great swords i think that benefit THF the most.

Could you guys PLEASE update? I know the picture is right but the information is not.

"Occasionally attacks twice." <—Wrong
"Occasionally attacks 2-3 times." <— Right

Having this sword and listing it in my "Allakhazam Profile", I'd like people to see what it really does w/o having to click on its name. =D

Hmmm... I have a question. Does anyone know why this sword didnt get gimped damage wise like all the rest of the "occasionally hits 2-X times" weapons?


Square introduced the Kraken Club with 1-8 hits and later realized it was a horrible mistake. Ridill and Joyeuse were the next two multi-hits introduced, so they reduced the number of hits while increasing the damage. Then they realized it was still a horrible mistake, so all newer multi-hits have less attacks than the Kraken Club and low damage.

Hmmm... I have a question. Does anyone know why this sword didnt get gimped damage wise like all the rest of the "occasionally hits 2-X times" weapons? Because the way it is now, this thing has still very good damage yet it hits 2-3 times making it sooooo dang awesome... Now... if they only could make a dagger with similar properties I'd be in heaven! ... and hell... since I'd be forced to run out end spend the rest of my FFXI life trying to get it, one way or another! ><

I say DRK/NIN with a Ridill and a Bloodsword..



I say a WAR/NIN with Ridill and Kraken Club, (B+ in both weapons) you'd swing non stop and spam Savage Blade every 10 seconds or so. DRK/NIN could also use this combo but there'd be little point thanks to DRK's gimped C rating in club and their horrible ACC. They'd whiff more often than not with the club making it's 1-8 attacks per round much less effective. WAR/NIN could also use Ridill + Joyeuse, no other job is able to equip both of thes swords.

At 75 a warriors sword skill caps at 250 earning a B rating from http://ffxi.cannotlinkto/skilldb/

At 75 a dark Knight has a sword skill of 240, just enough for savage blade, earning them a B-

250 compared to 240 is hardly gimped

Edit: Fixed the link

DRK acc is not gimped like most think it is. its the same as most other jobs. But th etrue nature of the DRK is to use a powerfull, slow weapon. Since we only attack once every 7 seconds u notice that we may not hit as much. Our Acc is the same and can be shown through the use of swords and wands (with lower delay times).

DRK's acc isn't gimped with sword... it's not gimped at all, the excessive delay on two handed weapons like scythe and great sword just make it appear greater than it is.

Funny how you got rated down to nothing for having one as RNG. I suppose it must have been a simpler time when you got it.

In theory a thief could dual wield Kraken Club and Ridill, getting a double Triple Attack proc with 8 hits and 3 hits, making for 8*3 + 3*3 meaning you would somehow get 33 hits in in one turn. This would be extremely rare but possible. Imagine...
holy

Some people are saying that triple attack doesn't go off with this sword, those people are wrong. Although triple doesn't go off on this as often as a dagger but mainly it isn't noticable since the sword already attacks 3 times. The times you will notice this sword doing a triple from your JT it a 5 hit. One dagger strike and 4 sword strikes. (BTW, the sword kicks some pooty, keep a hell-of-a-lot of acc+ to be able to use this in exp party and you will gain tp like crazy (thf advice only)
hmm

double atk > Triple Atk and this sword would it stack ??? be crazy if so
Another idea..

I say DRK/NIN with a Ridill and a Bloodsword.. I was watching ballista one time and a DRK had on a hauberk and the thick stuff while dual weilding this with some other sword... it was Sandy vs. Windy and the DRK was with Sandy.. too bad Sandy lost.. got stomped by like 10.. but windy had an extra guy!.. still th DRK should have owned his own team and windy and claimed it for himself.. if you'd like I could try and put the screenshots up, I got quite a few.
#Anonymous, Posted: Jul 24 2004 at 8:22 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) imagine if u drk/nin and have two of these bad boys with drk's 2-hour 4-6 hits and drainind enemies heath at the same time......drool

the little yellow circle saying rare means that you can only have one of them, and the green circle with ex means u cant trade it. they do that cuz dual weilding items like this would be too powerful
no stacking

The extra attacks from Kraken/Joyeuse/Ridill cannot trigger Double/Triple Attack, nor vice versa.
