Can we move the PvP guys over to the PvE side of things?

Keep in mind that things like WHM's Miracle of Nature or BLM's night wing, among other things, aren't going to be useful in a PvE setting.

As much as I love the PvP kits, I've sadly concluded that it just wouldn't work. One could argue that encounter design could be changed so that it expects crowd control actions like Night Wing, Miracle of Nature and Contradance. The likelyhood of that happening is as good as zero, of course, but even if CBU3 were willing to go to that extreme, the real issue is that it would still fail because the community has become so... I don't even know the word for this.. but they will complain at the slightest inconvenience--especially if it gets in the way of their beloved parse.

Take PvP Wyrmwind Thrust for example: the damage grows bigger the further you are from the target. People will inevitably complain about needing to track autos so that they don't miss a swing while out of range, and then ask for it to be removed. People will ask why DRK needs to drain HP to do damage when no one else has to risk their lives; the end result is homogenisation. AST's random cards? We all know how that story ends.

There's no way I can visualise being allowed to have an interesting kit in a game where people STILL take issue with things as basic as positionals and randomness. And timers too, apparently. Can't have shit around here

The old shadowbringer kits would have been sick in pve though...

changing who are the ones working on pve or pvp won't change anything, it's a specific design choice they could do a whole expansion and do nothing but touch jobs but if they dont change how they want them to work and be nothing will actually ever change.

Lol, l ran into new dk in pvp from time to time. They would spam shadowbringer and insta melt themselves. Imagine that in a dungeon

Allow players to fail and let them learn from their mistakes.

Dark Knight being able to use hp in pve would be sick. Give something for healers to do in these dungeons

That was my thoughts exactly. I expected someone to say "Yeah but then that would cause too much stress on the healers!" To which I would say good, it's what their role is meant to do instead of just 11111111111'ing and occasionally 2'ing or 3'ing for the rest of the dungeon.

Reducing stress
Improving ease of use/usability

All buzzwords used in every PLL since ShB. You can count them, it's actually amusing.
