I still think living shadow is disgusting. I feel like its more of a ninja skill the way its operating. Fray should just come out and do a single powerful attack so it works well in burst windows and you dont have to worry about boss animation windows. This would have made more sense if it was linked to TBN some more. TBN is calling upon fray in your darkest hours. That energy eventually builds up and is released as a powerful retribution attack. Alot of this dark knight just doesnt fit with what the NA dark knight forum goers have been asking for. I dont know anything about the japanese side honestly... whether or not the class is any better, funner, or sinergized better with a party setup remains to be seen.
