I at least managed to get some fun out of Stormblood DRK, despite certain gripes...

HW War (HW Sch, just wanted to drop that in). Maybe SB War later on - definitely not at launch. But HW War was pretty cool. I would have been happy playing HW War and Sch forever. Early SB War was pretty bad imo. ShB War is not as bad as early SB War, it's just the most boring iteration of War yet, and a huge letdown in general imo. SE keeps adding and removing actions, and the actions they add are worse than the actions they remove, that at this point, I wish they would stop adding/removing actions and just revert War back to HW and keep it like that forever. I would not be bored. In fact, I'd be happy with it, and if all we get each expansion is new content with no new actions, I would be perfectly fine - seeing as how, like I said, the new actions are just inferior versions of old actions they removed....

Feels kinda sad. Infuriate/IC mechanics are whack. Actually, in PvP, they now add a SE like debuff. I wish Infuriate/IC would just be like that for PvE. NF is lame with its party target requirement. FC hits like a wet noodle if it doesn't crit. Everything outside of IR or Infuriate/IC hits like a wet noodle. ShB War is functional. I guess. It's just boring to play. And to me, it doesn't matter how good the content is, how well the dungeons, trials, raids are designed, or how good a story is being told, if the moment to moment gameplay is terrible, and I don't feel powerful as a Warrior or having fun as a Warrior, then none of the content stuff matters. Which is why I've been barely logging on once or twice a month to keep my house, and patiently waiting for 5.2. At which point, if they don't really do something about tanking classes to make them less boring to play, I won't be logging in at all until 6.0...

I don't mean to keep bringing this up, but man, I wish Sch was fun to play again too... It was nice healing once in a while... = (

I like Current DRK and PLD over stormblood.
Current war would be really nice to play with if nascent flash wouldnt be tied to the ally and have at least 10 sec duration.

Clearly you did not read the quest journal when you were doing the DRK quests.

The quest journal makes the quests go from decent to amazing.

Gun Breaker for me. Easily the most fun tank in the entire game, feels like I'm playing a fighting game - a VERY simple one- but a fighting game none the less. - this is at 70 plus mind you- It just feels so good. and it's so fast. Love it.

I... actually really like Shadowbringers DRK. As far as I am concerned, they almost nailed the... game feel for it. I say almost because I haven't been fan of Bloodspiller and Quietus since their inception, but other than those, their skills really really satisfying to use.

So unless they try to reinvent the wheel in 6.0, I am happy.
