No I am not saying that it will make a noticeable difference. Neither of the two will imo. It depends on what you like more.

And saying a Lv 40 Drk shouldnt be getting hate...*every* job at one point or another will steal hate. No I'm not saying the HP and VIT will necessarily save you, but it's there as an option to wear. Also, Drk can be a SATA partner (first provoke) so yes, they might be taking the hits. Also the Armet looks way cool

[Tiblorian]

I think that u should use the barbarian scythe in there. I found with sushi i never missed with it so i would def switch to that at 50 then bone or bone+1 at 53 though i find bone +1 a waste but im poor ><. Other than that very nice guild basically what i bought.

Edit Buy both str and dex rings. Macro strengths in for ws.

Yes, I did forget that one. Barb Scythe is a good option if you have X2 Sniper's Rings to counter to Accuracy -5. I will add it with a lil blurb

[darkhell87]

Well pretty nice guide but theres a few things id change.

Lv 50 Royal Knights Mufflers should not be replaced by af.

Lv 47 Falcastra has good stats but makes you hit like a ninny.

Bones scythe +1 is nice but the demon slicer hits hard.

Lv 53 Vassago's Scythe hits harder than the DS scythe +1 (exept on undead)

You forgot the Brigandine Armor http://ffxi.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?fitem=1397

Lv 55 Royal KNights Breeches are better than af.

Lv 14 Courage RingsX2, no, no balance rings, courage rings will make you hit hard but whats the point if you can hit?

Lv 36 Puissance RingsX2 Lv 54 Victory Rings Lv 72 Ruby Rings Lv 74 Flame Ring, you take sniper rings till the day that you die.

Lv 75 Wyvern Helm, I dont agree I think the af helm would help more, that is if you use SE, or the optical hat so you know you will hit.


Other than that its a good guide, you actualy spent time in making it.

(sticky it)

[-Rhowan-]

Vassago Scythe is lvl 58, and i would not switch to the darksteel scythe because knowing drk's acc, i pick +5 acc over the 5 more dmg anyday

[turbogeo]

i agree w/ acc > all and i feel that the barb scythe is horrible

and as for the armet, in a sata partner situation. the armet should be replaced after SATA has gone off

{Hmm} lets go in order shall we

#1. I'm not saying Royal Knights Mufflers should be replaced by AF. Im saying get the AF because well, it's your AF. You dont have to use it >.>

#2. Falcastra imo is good until Bone Scythe+1

#3. Demon Slicer is only good for one level so I didn't put it up. Vassago's > All at that Lv.

#4. Vassago's is Lv58.

#5. I choose to put Royal Squires +1 over Brig. I can still add it though.

#6. Again, Royal Knights Breeches are better than AF, but its AF so get it anyway.

#7. DEX+4 Really dosent do too good imo unless your Thf or have a ton of accuracy. Ive done testing with the low level jobs and saw next to nothing in accuracy, while the STR helped more.

#8. Of course use Sniper's rings for normal swings. When it comes to one hit WS's macro in STR gear, it will help you alot. When you get to 66 and get Spinning Slash, there you will see its potential at it's fullest.

#9. Wyvern Helm and AF Helm (Once get O-Hat) are onry there to be macro'd in for the right occassion.

i agree w/ acc > all and i feel that the barb scythe is horrible

and as for the armet, in a sata partner situation. the armet should be replaced after SATA has gone off

I agree too that accuracy is very very important. Barb Scythe is fine if you've got enough accuracy to negate the -5 on the Scythe. It's damage potential is great^^

Also the Arment can be worn 24/7 until you get something better (i.e Walk/Valk Mask). I don't know why yall hate on it. I think its a good peice for "not so rich" drk's. >_>

Hope that cleared everything up.

[turbogeo]

i 'hate on it' just because i don't see a point in buying gear that doesnt help you do what your job does

i.e. when a lv. 53 taru BLM showed up to replace me in boyhada one night wearing full RSE ; ; ;

[Birdman]

Then dont buy the gear lol. This is *my* opinion on what a Drk should get seeing as I've had experience (No offense)

Why cant you just say Congratz on the sticky? >_>

[Black Knight]

Congratz on Sticky >________>

[Birdman]

Thank you Tyrant >_____>

[turbogeo]

oh, i'll admit that you have a better perspective on what gear to use. but gear guides are tough, because a galkan drk will wear diff gear than a taru drk



er lemme put the ball on my court: a galka blm will have diff. gear than a taru blm

[Birdman]

Yes and I didnt list *every single peice of equip*. I used the standard one's for all races. That's why everything may not be on there. Im trying to think how to make it better if there is a way >___>.

Again, everyone keep in mind this is only a guide lol

[Black Knight]

Birdman :
Thank you Tyrant >_____>

anytime Birdman <_________<;

[darkhell87]

Falcastra imo is good until Bone Scythe+1

Back when I used it, It didnt seem to hit as hard as the mutilator.

Demon Slicer is only good for one level so I didn't put it up. Vassago's > All at that Lv.

I think 3 lvs.

Vassago's is Lv58.

I know I just noticed that, I cut and pasted that from your list.

DEX+4 Really dosent do too good imo unless your Thf or have a ton of accuracy. Ive done testing with the low level jobs and saw next to nothing in accuracy, while the STR helped more.

Well I disagree with that, any melee job needs dex at a lower lv (thf drk sam drg) exept mnk. From whats been tryed and tested dex = 1.5 dex = 1 acc + more criticals and more dmg when you critical, thats why when you orcs do there dex down move you miss alot more.

[Birdman]

heh, sorry about that. Vassago's Scythe is Lv 58. Yes that maybe 3 levels higher than Vassago's but still not worth it imo. Bone Scythe+1 has the same base damage and a lower delay >_>

Fixed everything

[darkhell87]

Well I have all the scythe I ever used from 20- (breaks my heart to lose a scythe).

Im still trying to figure out how to lv my damn GS I cant seem to find the right mobs (lv 140 GS)
