How do we feel about the tank changes?

Needing TBN to break, to proc the "Dark Arts effect" in order to use "X of darkness" moves, so you can extend the timer on darkside, still feels like all the stuff i hated they added to DRK in SB, while only getting rid of the clunkiness of pressing dark arts.

What is your source for that please ? If it's really the case I'm pretty sure that breaking TBN is only going to be ONE option to proc "Dark Arts". Because in the job trailer the DRK isn't getting a TBN broken at all and he's still able to use the "Darkside extender" move. I doubt that they just had him have Dark Arts from the start because the video lasts way more than 10sec. You're either spreading some misinformation that even the leaks didn't talk about, or your source is incomplete and we're going to have another option. I highly doubt that they'll make DRK THAT clunky again after all the feedback on all the previous states the job has gone through.

Please wait for the full job skill list to be available for us to see before jumping on any kind of conclusion.

Yup, Mara totally missed something. Yes, you get Dark Arts when TBN breaks. Dark Arts allow you to cast Flood of Darkness and Edge of Darkness for FREE. You can still cast them and apply/refresh Darkside with them without Dark Arts but at the cost of MP (3000).

Oh okay so it's just the new way to "refund" TBN's cost. I like it. It's basically giving you back the MP you spent on TBN that you would've spent on these other abilities otherwise.
