I've partied some DRK/NIN's before. As long as they're equiped well, it can potentially be a good class. The two swords... maybe not, but two axes is really good...

These DRK/NIN can also stack their JA's more effectively. When a DRK/WAR uses even just Souleater, he gets a bunch of hate and sometimes get their butts kicked because of their puny defense. Utsusemi: Ichi protects the DRK for a while and since they aren't doing quite as much damage in individual hits, I believe the 2x Axes keep up in damage pretty well, but it's more spread out and consistant.


I'm no damage dealer, and I've never played DRK, but I never invite DRK unless they sub NIN now :P

I don't even really like DRK at all... my ideal party is...

PLD/WAR (me ^^)
RNG/NIN
RDM/BRD
WHM/SMN
BLM/WHM
THF/NIN
