And either way Souleater is really good with Dark Arts so you will have to use Syphon Strike. Oh, and from what I've seen DRK has more base PIE than every other non-mage job (PLD and BRD have something like 1400 MP at level 50. DRK on the other hand has 1900 MP at level 50).(06-22-2015, 02:26 PM)Melkire Wrote:(06-22-2015, 02:04 PM)mongi291 Wrote: That pretty much applies for every tank now.
Or, even better, wait until we get crafted accessories and make accessories with both VIT and STR.
I haven't hopped into HW yet but I've been hearing folks in linkshells advocating VIT or maybe even PIE for DRK. The former given that consensus seems to be that it's a squishier tank than PLD or WAR, the latter given its constant need for MP.
Yeah, I've been hearing the PIE thing too... I'm just sticking to STR on Judge because that's always been my tanking go-to stat with WAR and PLD, and so he has all gear that lines up with that from his preparation.
Once I actually get him to a decent level and have his abilities, I can likely give a decent report on their squishiness and MP consumption. However, as of yet (at 34), I've only been running low on MP if I'm doing the DRK-equivalent of "Flash spamming."
EDIT: And yes, I know they said "PIE will be a possible option for DRK". I remember that. But it turns out they either lied, or were exaggerating.
