Except what Dark Knight after 2005 was using /THF? /NIN was the norm at all times. Also Darkness was just as good which it could close. Furthermore, Insurgency could close Light. The fact that Light was preferred over Darkness only points out a glaring issue with the magic system and that Thunder > all. Also... Who the hell was doing Skill Chains after 2005? DPS was far higher to just use weapon skills as they became available rather than farting around waiting other members to do a big combination attack.

That's why weapon skills like Guillotine, Raging Rush, and Rampage were preferred over skill chains, especially in burn parties.
