Darkside Aura is gigantic and an eye sore.

[Borascythe]

I can't stand the aura. I turn it off when I am in town or out just flying around. It's definitely an eyesore. I hope SE changes it to just about anything else. I really hope they come up with something more subtle.

A lot of people complain about the weakness of the class right now, but my chief complaint is the aura. I have faith the class will be tweaked over time to be more on par with the other tanks. I have less faith about the aura being changed. I really hope SE does, though.

Agreed. Remove it and put the same effect on blood weapon and blood grit. GG.

id like for it to be completely removed rather then changed. darkside can basically be up 100% of the time. permanent buffs should not have anything like that attached to them. especially something so straining on the eyes. you cant even turn it off in the charater or system settings like the other battle effects.

Lets remove Flares animation too.

I simply cannot stand it when a huge Flare appears over my head, no way. Too straining on the eyes, do you want me to go blind?

Astral/Umbral needs to be removed too, it hurts my eyes. Same with the new haste ability, I find it being a pentagram offensive. It needs to be removed.

I don't like any of it, I don't care if Black Mages actually like it, they need to go.

There. Last time I checked Flare wasn't a permanent buff.

I don't know if people mentionned it before, but the kind of dark hole at the quest giver's feet during the level 35 quest would be a better idea then the gigantenormous red glow of death. The effect was small yet definitely noticeable, and unlike what we have now, it really looked related to darkness.

Can you tell me what Darkness is? The power a Dark Knight draws upon, to be exact?

And so? They don't care about us, why should I care about them? Saying a Dark Knights aura is an eyesore, yet they play a 60 Black Mage, the class with the flashiest, biggest animations, as flashy as they get, LOL.

Cant handle a very feint red aura though, god forbid they stop playing in first person, get their face more than 2 inches away from their screen, and take a damn breather every few hours of playing. Hell just stop LOOKING at Drk's when you don't need to, and stop specifically trying to eye out Darksides just to piss yourself off so you can come here and complain about the most retarded things.

At MOST they only need to condense it so it is more around the character(If even), fix the animation so we actually have the black flames we're suppose to have with it up, and allow it to be disabled along with the other effects. Then if people don't like it? They can disable it.

[Scyris]

I agree, I don't even play drk, but I still hate that aura, its pretty distracting, needs to be an option in graphics for players to disable aura's entirely.

[karateorangutang]

While the animation isnt my favorite its just the sheer size of it that bothers me. Make the lines a bit more opaque and shrink the size to about a 1/4 of what it is now and it would be fine.

Honestly, the only animation that bothers me on DRK ( I dont play it really, i just notice it when im playing DRG) is unleash. I needs to be above the ground or more transparent... it covers the aoe markers really really well.

The thing is you don't have giant flares going off in town 24/7... something you don't understand.

I'm alright with it in combat. But when you have giant clouds of it surrounding every npc in town... there's a problem.
