Dark knight abilities. Uncreative.

I think the PLD suffers more from a lack of creative gameplay, but on the other hand, if ground-breaking combat was near the top of our list, why the hell are we even playing this game? If it wasn't or the fact that it's playing so heavily on the FF charm, I might have been gone a long time ago.

We were putting this type of combat under the "done to death" tag around a decade ago. Not that it doesn't work, but in truth it does little more in the combat department than games that even came before WoW. Lineage II is one such game if anyone's going to ask examples.

Unless it's a hybrid shooter or something, nobody is ever trying to make new contributions to MMO combat. It's the universe they're selling you.

Uh the Koreans have been making action-combat MMOs for awhile now. Tera stands out here as an MMO with an engaging combat system. Too bad Tera also had no endgame besides really unbalanced PvP.

Black Desert is also a game with action combat which is currently in Korean and Japanese open beta. It's F2P too so you can try it yourself if you want.

Black desert is p2w to the extreme last I checked. None of the action MMO stand up to well. They simlpy dont lend themselves to the MMO formula.
