The more I read over DRK the more it seems like it has an absurdly high skill ceiling where you want to maintain uptime on Grit (moreso than other tank classes due to their significantly lower HP) and Darkside (for DPS)

So far I haven't had a reason to ever turn darkside off, and the only time I shut off grit is on bosses after initial threat is established. I think I've dropped darkside exactly once by accident while leveling and that was because I was talking on the phone and not paying attention.

Darkside might actually become interesting to manage after 50 though. I mean, this is just leveling dungeon poo poo thus far.

every time DRK swings their sword, it makes a lightsaber noise.

i like to imagine my au ra drk is actually making the lightsaber noises with her mouth.

Amending this post:

So, Dark Arts actually adds a poo poo ton of effects to abilities. None of them mention it until you actually complete the L45 quest and GET Dark Arts. It's baked into the tooltips of Carve & Spit and Abyssal Drain. The rest of the tooltips are modular and update only when you unlock Dark Arts.

It consumes ~30% of your MP (give or take) and does things like making Dark Dance gain +20% evasion, or add extra enmity (again) to Power Slash. It affects a whole lotta things. THIS is where your MP management comes in.

That doesnt seem like a bad thing as long as they put in catch up mechanics of some kind so that new/returning people dont struggle to close the gap.

yeah they did. they doubled the main story exp and it will feed you a full set of i110 gear by the end so you don't have to struggle to grind gear or anything.

That said, PvP gear is optimally statted for PvP and will improve your performance, and you only really get it from participating in PvP.

PVE still has some really ideally statted items for PVP, though. Which only really matters if you're super spergy min-maxing in PVP.

Can't take you seriously, when you talk about SS the party is now much better, when it pretty much does not stop any damage anymore. Stoneskin is good in exactly one situation: When someone got 10k health and you know there will be a hit for 10,1k. Else it would be just dumb to cast it, because it is expensive like poo poo.

End Game Raiding is by the way not the "bigger picture". Endgame Raiding is the little Freak Show for ~1% of the players. And it was never the point, that Whm can't heal anymore. There was no nerf. But every healer class can do that (and shield much better, too, now even more than before).

That Raw Intuition thing is obviously a ridiculous bug.

What you miss is a comparison. Throwing in single numbers is worthless.

yeah that was just my subtle call back to featherfoot and coil.

the difference now being that one is a core defensive tool and the other was a cross-class ability.

Friends have asked me why I am bothering with roulette for post-50 leveling. Here's some rough numbers in case other people aren't aware!

High Level roulette is worth about 13.5% of a level.
Main Story roulette is about 13.5%.
Low Level roulette is about 18.5% and gives kill exp*.
Trial roulette is about 7%.
Guildhest roulette is about 3% and gives kill exp*.

I don't think Trial roulette is particularly worth it because you can spend half an hour wiping in Chrysalis or whatever. Guildhests take like, five minutes tops. So basically about half a level a day if all you do is run roulettes.

_{*this isn't super significant but it's still a non-zero number.}

Tsurupettan: Mar 26, 2011; My many CoX, always poised, always ready, always willing to thrust.

run lldr, hldr and main story roulettes. the exp starts to fall off a bit later but hldr and ms are still about 10% of a level each at 55 and lldr is about 15%.

guildhest is about 1% and trial about 3%.

Roulettes: There's so many to choose from, and any of them will grant 7-15% of a level at 50, but I have no idea if these scale up or if they start giving a flat amount of bonus exp from level 50+, the way challenge log does.

They start falling off. i have rough numbers in some of my posts in the thread. Still worth doing.

Expert, high, low, MSQ daily roulette so will give you 480 law each day. You need 2400 for the whole set, so 5 days just with roulettes. It's a lot different from running Casterm(?) something like 40-50 times.

MSQ roulette gives you poe. Trial gives you law.

A full i170 set is 3095 without the weapon, and 3665 with.

e: 2400 cent without the weapon, 2795 with. Old hunts also give you cent and law.

Frankly, I don't see why it couldn't be a little bit of both and then just call it a medium-armor class, to share with DRG. Or is my image of Samurai just a little too polluted by playing as much Soul Calibur as I did, which makes this smug rear end in a top hat the image in my head?

is this early concept art of hanzo? when did they change him to using a bow?
