Dark Knight Rework Wishlist
Disclaimer: I'm absolutely new to official forums so please bare with me.
Hello everyone,
I created this topic to inspire some creative discussion and hopefully get my points across for changes on the currently uninspired job Dark Knight. Further down below I hopefully elaborate my idea.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Blackest Night: New Job System
This is the new Job Identity I want to give Dark Knight since it's being mockingly reduced to The Blackest Night I would like to make this its whole identity as a barrier tank.
Soul Shield System
Soul Shield System unlocked with Lvl 70
Either the Shield behaves like Brutal Shell (boring)
Or you only get the Shield by filling the bar (important for later)*
Bloodspiller and Quietus fill the Soul Shield
Souleater and Stalwart Soul besides giving blood gauge also fill the Soul Shield
Soul Shield A stays permanent
Soul Shield B is temporary
Oblation changed
A it depletes the BShield for a heal
B it fills the Shield to full.
*Everytime the Shield breaks you get acces to a heavy hitting Aoe Skill "Darkest Hour" Placeholder name.
Animation would be us ramming the Sword into the ground like Living Dead and conjuring a Dark Seal Exlosion around the target like Confiteor.
If this is too much shielding with the existence of TBN, change it to only be usable with an existing Soul Shield to transfer it to a target.
Like Heart of Stone.
Or remove it.
I will gladly give up an occasional Tbuster counter against a new Identy and better sustain without sacrificing damage.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Other QoL stuff that buggers me:
Living Dead Change: 10sec Living Dead, when K.O.d -> 10sec Walking Dead, when healed 100% of Health -> Sole Survivor = Invuln without Death penalty
These changes are to make Dark Knights invulnerabilty skill
A.) More in line with the other tanks and
B.) Make it easier for all other healers beside White Mage to work alongside a Dark Knight.
Give Dark Side the Moonflute aura and let it fade into current aura over time or just glowing eyes like in the job icon for Darkside. Purely aestetic.

I hope this sparks some discussion and please feel free to tell me what you think of my idea if it's good, if it needs some changes or if you have other ideas.
Thank you.
