I can remember at time when /drg was always throw into the mix as a DD subjob for NIN. Clearly /war won that debate but just for a laugh I was thinking /drg did make a small gain with the newer gear and timers.



I'm sure /war will still win but how close do you think a /drg is now to /war with a comparable set but using brutal and augmented byakkos?

For the sake of argument lets say we are doing a neo-dynamis run, versus DC eating meat kabobs or ycbs.

/drg may not be as good as /war for overall damage, but it is a hell of alot more fun with the new jump timers.

Add a Wyvern earring for an additional 5% haste.

Back in the day, SAM/DRG with a Soboro used to be a bucket-load of fun. It was glorious being able to do a 3-step SC without any ability-use.

Edit: As for Ninja (to contribute something useful to the thread), it could work.. But I'm sure /WAR comes out on top.

Sorry I suppose I should have added to that thread but I guess I wrote it off as a troll attempt. However, it seems like there are some hidden bonuses to /drg that aren't really being considered in that other thread. If we can negate the extra attack from /war then we are really comparing ~11% double attack to 7 DW and w/e store tp and crit dmg bonus I have on my byakkos?

I figured I might be able to cap attack with food and maybe dia II (thus negating berserk) and that maybe the extra 7 dual wield > 10% double attack?

I'm not using a brd in my runs so I know my rate of attack shouldn't be capped?

Isn't attack speed always > double attack in most cases?

Also the added bonus of using high jump to shed eminty and keep me firmly planted behind the mob for innin?

Anywho, sorry for polluting the forum with another bad thread, but what's done is done.

Then there's ballista but that's different.
