Their main attack is 4 taps of the attack key, their secondary one is hold-down-another-key-until-DF-runs-out.
In neither case can you move during the attack sequence, or you don't get to do good damage.
It's not good for low-hp mobs cause you don't hit high damage until the 3rd/4th normal attacks, it's no different from other perfect-stance classes at high-hp mobs cause you just hold down a key for a while, then tap attack a bit...
I suppose Chaos Lock does... something. But I haven't had occasion to use it, and it runs out the DF really fast.
Well with low hp mobs what I find myself doing is having 1.a good familiar out and 2.using dark thrust.
Glide behind them all, thrust them forward - they dead. good. they alive,use a single hit or thrust again based on hp.
you usualy recover DF quite quickly on low hp mobs so using a high DF skill like thrust to kill them ends up with having full DF again anyway.
let me give you a 4th job example

If he/she were to hit them one by one they wouldn't give much DF but you get extra for the K.O itself.
