Should PLD and WAR get gap-closers at 70?

[Kages]

DRK's version of Flash? As in the untraited version? As I mentioned before, DRK's version of Flash is a GLD cross-class skill which generates enmity, but does no damage and doesn't apply a blind effect.

He probably meant DRK's version of Flash as in DRK's Unleash, as Flash and Unleash are functionally nearly equivalent (self-centered AoE with increased enmity generation). They ofc also differ: While Unleash does damage, Flash does not. Flash does blind (added mitigation), which Unleash doesn't. Also Flash is using a ressource that PLD doesn't need to manage as much (MP).

Unleash also has spikes coming out of it, which is why it does damage. With Flash, you invite the mobs over to take a commemorative photo with you. It's a much more friendly affair which is more MP and battery efficient.

I'm secretly hoping that some clever person will try to argue that Enhanced Unleash procs don't cost MP. Then we can have a follow-up discussion on why we ought to give PLD free Flashes off of Shield Lob.
