They don't understand they do not look edgy and menacing, but childish and easily impressed with themselves. I say this as someone who has taken Dark Knight as their new main, while I will never claim to be the best, I can proudly say I wont be found standing about with Dark Side aura up on constantly, I'm no try hard that needs to "express his darkness" to everyone.

Exactly what I think!
I kee my Dark Side off whenever I'm in cities, or just exploring. I feel it's so out of place if I'm not fighting.

I hope they keep it as it is, I love the dark and edgy atmosphere it gives my character ♥

The aura is so large that half the time I can't tell which character it's coming from. I certainly am not thinking "dark and edgy" when I see it. I'm thinking "broken and an annoyance, and getting in the way of things I actually want to be seeing".

They should make it tht dark aura has a small wind up dark harnessing animation tht only lasts a few secs then it becomes a subtle dark glowy outline of the character. Its like make it ssj1 instead of ssj3 lol.

Just give us the red eyes that Fray or Curious Gorge gets when they gets pissed.

I quite like the aura, and the general flashiness of the class in general. Tank classes are always so dull in the particle and special effects department. PLD, which I've played since launch, was bland as &:":$3) (insert explicative). Don't think I'll ever go back. An option to disable the aura, visually, for those of you that have an issue is something that will likely be added. But I really hope that they leave the razzle-dazzle as is. No need to kill the fun for everyone.

P.S. I'm also in the "love the new VOs camp". I mean most of the old ones were absolutely horrid. Like budget anime tier. Especially Raubhan and Alphinade (spelling is likely wrong on each name--no autocorrect for that!).

Seriously people let little things bother them. I've like 10 people with it on and just ignore it. The battle effect I can understand but the effect itself is fine.

If they dimmed/shrank the Dark Side aura, it would be more difficult when walking through town to quickly identify who around you is a total tool.

DRK Aura looks pretty weird to me,its like they fart in black&red and the stench refuse to fade away.WAR Aura,in the other hand,looks a lot cooler.

I agree with the aura needing to be combat only or toned down when out of combat.

As someone who is currently enjoying DRK I do somewhat dislike this aura, as many people have mentioned I think it would be better if it was less widespread and closer to the character.
