Thread: Ask Questions for Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XLII! (Exploring Patch 4.2)

Can you please make it so cutscenes in the Main Scenario roulette can be skipped if everyone has already cleared the instance.

The 4.2 changes to Dark Knight were nice, but didn't go anywhere far enough to address the core issues of the class. In terms of DPS, mitigation and utility we now feel farther behind PLD and WAR than ever before. And ever since the 4.0 changes DRK's lost a lot of their identity with previous class specific skills such as reprisal and low blow becoming role actions, losing Shadowskin, and an overall dramatic increase to clunkiness in terms of feel due to having to use dark arts, skill, dark arts, skill, etc.

As DRK's we feel like we've been left in a dark place and forgotten about. What plans do you have to address these issues (such as a rework or complete overhaul of the class)?

Can the Healer crossrole system be looked at and changed?

Being forced to use macros to swap our actions after every few pulls, once every 30 minutes, or for specific debuffs in certain instances is not fun. No other role has to do this as often as us it is annoying.

Specifically Protect and Esuna. A tank can pull a boss instantly while we are casting protect and we can't change to esuna in time since we are now in battle. A party member can then die from a debuff and we have no way of dealing with it for the rest of the battle since most of our crossroles abilities are mandatory.
