yes i do see your point. i subbed bst in the starting just for fun but it sucked. i mean your not gona want to waste time charming the monster and telling it to atack. so then i went smn. altho carbi is a good help i think that drk is a stand alone soloer til lv 10 or so. iv chained alot with him and im lv 8 and taking on Ts in wadi with no prob. well thats my advanced job choice for farming and having fun with.im working on ninja quest now so i can sub it for rdm. i found that a ninja sub for rdm is realy helpful considering you can dual wied 2 broad swords or centurion swords. and you can gain the effect of the EN spells to wich will make the atack look kooler. but broad swords cast about 8k so i might sell my fire sword or just buy 1 broad sword with my fire sword.
