I (and some of my nonregistered FFXIclopedia friends) would like to see a "Dark Kights: Guide to Weapons and Armor." i personally don't have the DRK skill to know what the best gear is for each level to be able to give a good comprehensive guide. but browsing around i could see most jobs have SEVERAL guides that shows armor lvl use and WS sub items (i have edited some for gear not shown.) but drk guides are Lacking in this important field, if i could be instructed or directed to a guide of this type i would be eternally grateful and would work on posting it on the DRK mane page.

one of th emain things you need to worry about, it DON'T WEAR DRK AF, too many DRK go full af, and end up giving DRK a bad name, becuase they are always out damaged... I see far too many of these nowadays... Makes me sad to see anyone in the DRK af body —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Rinnsi (talk • contribs).
DRK AF
Not everybody feels like buying a haubergeon or byrnie for their drk cause they plan on using a hauberk, I've put my AF body to good use. It gives enfeebling magic and i've landed sleep and sleep II in xp pt's all the time, I've even landed a few in dynamis without much failure.
DRK AF body isn't all that but it has its uses and it looks cool. The DRK AF+1 pieces however are some of the best pieces for ws that a drk can get. (not the best) DRK's get outdamage because they don't know what they're doing. It's much harder to be a drk then it is to be many of the other jobs. But because of the set of skills a drk has they can be an awesome DD with useful utilities like stun and souleater. Can't forget drain either, I've seen Drain II do more damage then Thunder III from a RDM so i'm not complaining.
There are so many misconceptions about drk it is ridiculous. One that bothers me is that drk's have low defense. Like hell they do. They have a significantly higher VIT rating than WAR. That pretty much nullifies the defense bonus that WAR gets as far as damage. On top of that berserk lowers defense more than last resort so that is a silly claim also. They can also equipment heavy armor that doesn't always decrease their defense. In fact, a drk should be able to take more hits second only to PLD if people geared their drk right (exaggerating, lol). Now that there is a scythe that reduces damage taken, a drk should no longer be viewed as a low defense/ sub par DD.
If you are using Scythe, attack is usually better than STR if you plan on using Guillotine or Insurgency. If you are using Great Sword then you will need both, but you may get higher numbers if you lean towards STR. Don't use Ground Strike unless you have enough STR/INT to make it stronger than Spinning Slash cause you'll be sadly mistaken. BTW it requires a lot of STR/INT to make Ground Strike worth using if you have the Martial Sword —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Sheikk (talk • contribs).
