Drks, its our time to shine in shadowbringers.

The DRK Hype

If one tanking job should wonder about how the mp/to change will affect them,it's the war.
DrK will probably go through some rework, especially the DA spam and the lack of synergy between our skill in single target. But DRK already has a heavy focus on mp usage so I don't see how the merge would change that.

Unless they add some sort of new mechanic to all tank.

Pld also use mp, but it's more akin to a burst gauge than anything else. War on the other hand.... I guess they could do anything. Or nothing

With what exactly? MNK was the posterboy for SB and it's not like they were treated special this expac.

That is true, however MNK suffered during HW with its utility and it wasnt until 4.0 when MNK got a rework and buffs which made it great.

It may have been the posterboy, but hell the posterboy got some serious love.

I remember when it was MNKs time to shine in Stormblood....oh wait.

Did they though? The statistics we have available to us suggest MNK is the 2nd least played DPS job, only behind the dumpster fire that is MCH.

Memory is hazy but I seem to recall MNK getting a few basic things that (at the time) were treated more like "it's about time - but still not enough" rather than "OMG THIS IS POSTER-BOY LEVELS OF PWNAGE", so no, I stick to my original post - never assume anything. See for yourself. As a WHM main (a class that has had many woes for the last two expansions), if Mister Hyur posterboy turned into a White-Mage at the end of the trailer, it indicates nothing. Dark Knight was literally the only viable face to have for an expansion with that theme-name. The clue is in the title - "Dark". That's it.

Now, I could be wrong - for all you know they could revamp the entire thing on the sly and make it the bee's knees. My point isn't that it could/could not happen - I'm just cringing at the amount of people seemingly getting their hopes up purely because of the last 2 seconds of the trailer as if it's an indication of any actual class changes.

Ya know, it's okay for people to enjoy something.

I assume DRK is getting a heavy revamp either way, poster boy or not.

I can't see them making TP based abilities free in 5.0, I reckon abilities that currently use TP will use the new combined resource, as DRK (and PLD and BRD) currently use both MP & TP some things will have to change.
