Yet another DRK improvement thread, but with 99% less text! (Dark Arts related)

I have an idea for a simple "improvement" for DRK in regards to Dark Arts. Would it be possible to create the "combo box" highlight around the actions that would be enhanced when Dark Arts is active?

Would it be possible to read the tooltips for your job's actions and know which ones Dark Arts enhances?

It's a fine suggestion. Anything that makes people suck less is good news.

This guy is mad for no reason. The light up icon's would be a welcomed addition to DRK. They do that with warrior and our infuriated skills (inner beast, steel cyclone etch.) so theres no reason it shouldn't be done for dork too.

Jeez what a toxic reply. It's a very valid suggestion.

Because those skills can only be used when Infuriated.

You don't see a light up to inform what skill gives Wrath when Defiance is up.

This really isn't necessary. Using Dark Arts provides a wide variety of benefits to your skills, and you shouldn't be spamming it on moves at random. This is very different from WAR where unless tank busters are coming in you want to be rid of your stacks immediately.

This is so unnecessary, and could create confusion for some. There are like 6 skills it enhances and having them all light up with a combo glow at the same time as well as your normal combo glowing simultaneously would just be annoying. Its not that hard to read and remember your tool tips.

Power Slash
Soul Eater
Dark Mind
Dark Dance
Abyssal Drain
Carve and Spit

Did I miss any?

It's not an invalid suggestion, as abilities that get modifications by other skills get lit up with other classes. Scholar and Bard both have this effect.
White Mage and MCH do not however.

It's a superfluous suggestion IMO, since it's only 6 skills, and as a tank, you should not be looking at your bar at all, you NEED to be mindful of where you abilities lie, especially on Dark Knight, the one that requires you to be 50 an din the expac to be allowed to unlock.
