I worded that wrong... Guess i shoulda checked before posting that.. :/
I ment the General catagories, Ex: h/mp, attributes, comabate skills, magic skill, others. Not the Drk specfic groups.
if you are DRK *only* would be like...
HP 8/8
STR 5/5
Crit 4/4, Spell interupt 4/4
Scythe 8/8, Greatsword 8/8, Parry 4/4
Dark Magic 8/8, Elemental or Enfeebling 8/8
you might think... but youd be suprised what some ppl come up with lol thats why i wanna see
Well if people "come up" with different merits, it'd be because they have other jobs too. So this is a strange question to me. Are you only directing it towards the career DRKs or people who only have DRK leveled?
str for ws...
hp for souleaterdmg
crithit rate spell interuption....
8/8 scythe/gsword (both good situational weapons for drk)
dark magic 8/8 , make dark stuff stick better.. enfeebling magic 8/8 for emergency sleep....
My jobs are RDM COR SMN BRD DRK SCH. My merit choices try to benefit as many things at once, as possible.
So on that note ~:
MP: 8/8
Crit Hit Rate: 4/4 ~ Spell Int. Rate 4/4
Scythe: 8/8 Marksmanship 8/8 Dagger 4/4
STR: 5/5
Elemental: 8/8 (RDM,SCH) Enfeebling: 8/8 (RDM,SCH,DRK to an extent)
And just for kicks, Last Resort/Recast: 5/5
Overall I'm fairly happy with my merit choices. Scythe is usually the weapon of choice, outside select situations where GS may be applicable. Finally, meriting Marksmanship allows my COR to get Numbing Shot :p.
