inspiration is subjective lol. you can't determine what will inspire someone. if you aren't inspired by anything that doesn't kill zak in 8 seconds, then move along and pay no heed to videos such as this.
u can just tell by the video he has loads of fun. watching him having fun makes me wonder if ill have as much fun playing a drk. hence, inspiration. personally, i think that's more contagious (or inspirational as most ms players tend to call it) than an 8 second video that shows massive columns of pink numbers and ends before you can register what's going on.
awesome video, adam!

I think Iampchops proves in his video that just because you can't afford to have a "good" range doesn't mean you can't still enjoy playing a DrK. He is able to do boss runs and level up just fine and have fun!

@KHAlNlWest: i see what your saying, makes sense to me. But imo, having played a dragon knight, seeing sacrifice at bosses in inspirational vids is pretty lame. Some ppl get inspired for silly things, maybe even "coolness." Wait coolness is a huge factor in motivation actually. pretty sure most ppl want to play a class because the class looks cool. others play for damage (thats where your theory comes in). But i think you get the point =P

@KHAlNlWest: yeah, but if hes showing off major changes made in chaos, why only show one and not all of them? See cause videos made don't have to follow any guidelines, and by placing guidelines, your limiting creativity and unique individuality by making ppl follow a certain standard. But we shouldn't even argue about this anymore cause as i said, the guy already gave his rational, and you should drop this argument before it becomes a flame war.

[quote=KHAlNlWest]I hope you understand how much of your DPM you cut off by using crusher vs sacrifice. You're doing 30% of your potential damage output to put it in persepctive[/quote]

Yes i understand, maybe when i build the mesos I'll lay and sacrifice next time.

If you dont want your time wasted and think this is not a video you would like, theres an X button at the top right corner of your screen. You guys might not find it inspirational I do. So be it.

Hey hey hey, I got some screen time two seconds in the beginning, yes!

It was a good video. It didn't have an inspiring vibe to it, but I still liked it

[quote=benjiswimmer]Lol you guys really talking about his damage, he plays the game the way he wants it and however he feels is right no need to judge him like that. He wants to jump and use sac so be it. I rather slash blast zaks arms then crusher it, thats my choice its just something fun to show other people the viewers about drks and bossing and the amusement involved.

Edit: @Geminidawn its like saying you have to sit and take a piss, but no you can do whatever you feel is best like standing ontop of a fricken building and pee down as long as its to your liking. Not flaming just saying theres more to life then always having to follow whats right or societies norms.[/quote]

Peeing from building is illegal.

Also, it was denied for a reason.

@KHAlNlWest: since you didn't notice ill just re-post the lines already said: "Theres an aran inspirational video in which all he does is final charge (which is really weak skill for an aran). That's not how your supposed to train as an aran, but its his video, so he can inspire ppl in his own way." and besides, as he said, its not meant to be inspirational, so you might as well drop it now.

[quote=KHAlNlWest]Then you should quoting your friend who believe it should be inspirational*. Whether you're cheap or not, it's a waste of time. You're litterally taking twice as long, which consumes MP pots, which is more expensive.

This WOULD be the case IF it wasn't advertised as something inspirational.[/quote]

Well I'm not "soloing" so it's not twice as long, just like i said it's only a few minutes tops, and it would cost more for the HP pots spamming sacrifice while getting 5k KB every couple seconds. And once again it's not supposed to be advertised as "inspirational" it was just a mistype. Appreciate your feedback.

It is true you can both be a damage hoe and a lover of the class, but some people just make the corsair class for dmg, get bored and quit. Lame.[/quote]
PREACH IT! I personally love Corsair's 3rd job skills. Honestly the best skills (well... most fun skills) are found there ^_^ YAY FOR WINGS!
I see people go nuts because they have 15% dex something instead of 18%. But it's their "cake" I guess I could say, it just sucks when they forget there are other fun things to do. ^_^

[quote=KHAlNlWest]If you want to make an inspirational video it's not "THIS IS HOW I DO THINGS, SLASH BLAST". You show what skills are available, where they are beneficial, and the verstality and strength of the class.[/quote]

your probably right that on that's how a dark knight should boss. But its his video, he can do whatever he wants in that video. Theres an aran inspirational video in which all he does is final charge (which is really weak skill for an aran). That's not how your supposed to train as an aran, but its his video, so he can inspire ppl in his own way and theres no right or wrong way to make a video. So i don't see why your trying to argue here.

Alright, soo first off this was NEVER supposed to be motivational/inspirational, it's just a video i made JUST like the other 2 i've made, it was just a mistype on the thread alright, if i wanted to be inspirational it would say it somewhere on youtube

Second the reason i'm using crusher is cause i'm CHEAP. Don't feel like wasting extra pots because I'm not sure if you could tell by my damage it's not the best. I greatly appreciate you commenting on how i should be doing things, and maybe if i become less cheap i'll do it next time.

I'm just playing the game, how i want to play it, there's no rules on how i can't. I don't feel the need to lay on zak and sacrifice to knock a few minutes off the zak time, it's not a big deal to me. I still greatly appreciate your feedback and will put it into consideration next time.

I think it'd have the opposite effect actually o-o Some people might be like "zOMG LOOK AT THAT HIGH DAMAGE QQ I MAKE SAIR"
But you're right, damage isn't everything and if you obsess about it Maple might not be fun anymore ;x

Well @Geminidawn hes just showing some of his skills that drks have, you might not find it inspiring but im sure many low level dks care to differ. This video is kind of like a preview for reaching dark knight to be honest I myself added inspirational to the title but he made this for fun lol
