The real question is, why doesn't RUN get Ragnarok?


Well, considering Epeolatry is better in basically every way... The same reason BLU doesn't get Excalibur and COR doesn't get Annihilator.

Of course Epeolatry is better. I consider it a mythic equivalent, though.

I still think that the newer jobs should either get added to relics, or have relics created for them. Same with Empyrean for RUN and GEO.

Title made me think.

Drks are emo thus they "get" (understand) the apocalypse, and wish for it to happen.

Then my brain got a little sad that this was a more serious post about drks and gear... lost all intrest.

go level drk and you too can understand the apocalypse.

You don't want to lug around a giant banana on your hip anyway.

Both relic weapons for DRK used are names for the end.

Apocalypse

Ragnarok

Pretty much the same thing.

Except Ragnarok is badass. A hell of a way to go.

Apocalypse sounds...shitty. No fun at all.

I was tired of the zombie bandwagon before it started. Ugh. My college roommate (and still good friend) is a walking encylcopedia of horror movies. From 2002-2005 I saw so damned many zombie movies.

The only zombie movie I liked was Shaun of the Dead, and he didn't even show me that one!

On a related note, why do we have Vanir gear but no Aesir stuff?

Oddly, I don't watch zombie stuff. Or much of anything really. Books > TV.

It sucks being an Apoc user and loyalist.
I don't get my *** handed to me in parses. So many bad DRKs out there regardless of their weapon choice.

Its all about playstyle. If you like being able to top up your HP and not worry about shitty whms, Apoc is fun.

Of course, idiots who get Apocalypse and then go do a promotional video of DRK and Apoc fighting undead doesn't do much to promote the weapon...

SE was somewhat cryptic not too long ago when they said they wanted DRKs to use scythe more in what sounded like possible scythe weaponskill changes. If this is the case I see adjustments coming for Spiral Hell, Insurgency, Quietus, and Catastrophe.

Drks are fragile little black roses with razor blades embedded on their soap on the rope.

but in truth SE holds a grudge on any Job that dares to challenge Sam and Mnk... K Club days fookt it up for Drk forever.

I think the main reason they get it is for the haste effect. it allows you to go over the haste cap and have insanely fast TP gain and weapon skill spamming and yes HP drain on a weaponskill is sexy too. imo Apoc makes endgame DRK the best DD in the game. I would love to get my hands one one of those, maybe one day i shall. Unitl then drk/sam 4 life.
I guess that day never came. ;;

Next you're going to tell me old yeller dies in the end ;_;

They hold such a grudge they gave Thf a 20 fTP WS and Mnk hasn't been a decent DD in almost a year!

Yeah, but brd has a harder time putting out those sweet numbers like thf. Partly because of gear, but mostly because of SATA.

It made DRK soloing pretty fun pre-trusts.

I second this.

When neo-nyzul came out and you had perma embrava + regen 5 and the haste from aftermath actually mattered where you could drop haste for multiattack gear and /war and ride berserk+last resort+soul eater and never die drk was insanely fun. Not to mention throw in the pre-nerf twilight scythe. Apoc isn't about doing the most damage, it's always been about having fun.

lol exaggerate much. Mnk is still the same mnk it was back when it was mnk onry, that was like 6 mnths ago, then SE stepped up SAM because u kno nippon honudes, Then one handers got buffed so mnks get a bit butt hurt now, also dagger got a nice buff wrapped in that same one hand buff so jumped up ahead of mnk. So you are right Mnk is back seat now since lat month because prior it was SAM / Mnk, cry moar.
