Talk:Dark Knight: Guide to Races and Subjob Selection

From FFXIclopedia, the free Final Fantasy XI encyclopedia

I just read the hate transfer stuff - if a DRK uses SaTa on a BRD, the bard is not going to thank you. Songs draw more hate than most expect, and a bard is no tank in terms of gear. Most likely you got a dead bard in seconds. Furthermore a bard is moving constantly, so he won't stand still for you to SaTa him or her. What you usually have is either a secondary tank to take the hate, or you close the skillchain and the other damage dealer who starts the skillchain uses his weaponskill and some abilities if needed to turn the mob away from the tank. The hate from the DRK/THF weaponskill is then transfered on the tank, where it should be. --Gisselle 10:48, 24 August 2006 (EDT)

On the section for BLU sj I think you should rewrite it. fyi it's fairly good sj for soloing at most lvs.

Removed

The last edit took a bunch of useful information out of the White Mage/Red Mage, Paladin, and Black Mage areas. I believe these should be changed.

On Dragoon Sub

Prehaps you should include the Wyvern Earring, with +5% haste, it's pretty good for any 2hander job.

Race corrections.

In Elvaan section. Elvaan sit along side taru drk in terms of WS damage, while a taru's INT pushes up the numbers, an Elvaan's high strength does the same for them.

In Tarutaru section. Taru and Elvaan are the top damage dealers when it comes to drk, as almost all dark knight weapon skills use STR and INT as the modifiers.

These comments are incorrect for a few reasons firstly one of DRKs main weaponskill is guillotine and the other spinning slash tho spinning slash is STR and INT guillotine is STR and MND meaning "as almost all dark knight weapon skills use STR and INT as the modifiers" is incorrect.

As for Tarus INT meaning there WS Damage will be higher if you add there STR and INT together and add Hume STR and INT together taru is only 1 point above hume and as hume has more STR and INT there attack rating will be higher meaning that tarus INT does not translate in them being the top for Weaponskill DMG in any weaponskill and elvaan only has top Guillotine DMG not spinning slash DMG.

Anyhow i feel those comments should be removed and maybe add something for taru along the lines "because of a few weaponskills having a 30% INT mod there weaponskill DMG for these STR & INT weaponskills will be on par with other races."--Rezeak 15:34, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
