Dark Knight moving forward: Job change ideas for 6.0

[DRKoftheAzure]

Sigh ...

You could say any oGCD attack ability on any job, tank or not, "just feels lik a glorified GCD". It's the difference in how abilities are used, such as being GCD or oGCD, that is the most discerning factor of how they "feel". If the oGCDs on DRK feel that way but oGCD attacks on other jobs don't, well that's you simply deciding to hold DRK to a different standard compared to the other jobs.

You are also contradicting yourself in saying that DRK should be more GCD focused because right now it is too similar to WAR and/or PLD. Making DRK more GCD focused would make DRK even more like the other tank jobs because they are already more GCD focused compared to DRK.
Make DRK have another combo-ender, now it's more like WAR and PLD. Give it a GCD DoT to keep up, while DRK used to have Scourge, now it would just be the same as GNB's Sonic Break. Make Edge and Flood GCD and they basically become frequent use GCDs that you are weaving in every couple of combos, not unlike Burst Strike and Fated Circle on GNB and besides Blood Spiller and Quietus are already like that so you would basically be doubling up on the same kind of ability.

The other tanks already pretty much cover the implementation variants for a GCD focused rotation and making DRK more GCD focused in it's game-play would objectively make the job more like one or more of the other tank jobs, not less.

Yeah... I'm beginning to realize with the conversation with you is that the more I think about it, DRK has too many issues that maybe because of the fact that it just didn't evolve past Heavensward and just constant devolving/degrading going into Stormblood which got some evolution half way into Stormblood, but it the devs basically made it so pointless when the media tour info for Shadowbringers dropped to where I actually regret choosing not only my forum username based on DRK, but picking up DRK when I finally unlocked it back when I finally picked up FF14 during Heavensward...
