my thoughts on how to make tank jobs more engaging

you can bypass the post limit by editing your post and make it as long as you want ^^

while undertandable i don't share you point of view, let's say they rework DRK again and bring it back to the veterans like us the gameplay we use to love again, will be the new players being dammed for it? not really, why? bcs the current gameplay is still present on WAR by a large margin and PLD in some degree too, if players just loved unga-bunga they have other jobs to fullfill his gameplay preferences, or just heavy burst type of job or braindead MP management they still have PLD they just have to move to them and will enjoy it, glamour can do the rest. not every job needs to be braindead level of accesibility for new players specially consider not all of them start at lvl 1.

The point to have 4 diferent tanks is to have 4 diferent ways to play the role and open a more diverse gameplay experience with diferent ways of engagement, if we have all tanks working the same with little no variance and worse, losing what veterans love when they use to be 3 way diferent jobs from each other it's a bad way to do things and kills the purpose of adding new jobs, thats why i belive DRK have no future with the current build, it will be forever a WAR that can do this or this like now, a WAR that have magical shintens.

homogenisation it's good to a certain point, when every job start to being the same with a diferent skin or minimun gameplay diferences you know they are just doing to much and thats bad.

Believe me when I say I do agree with you that having all 4 tanks NOT play differently is terrible for the veterans, but what I meant to get across in my original post is that the current kit has potential to become better. I'm not saying I prefer this kit, but more like

I doubt Square is gonna go back to STB DRK, since they seem to be obsessed with accessibility. I'm more suggesting this because I feel that they are more likely to tweak current DRK kit than to go back to STB Kit

but trust me i would love nothing more than to get STB DRK back. Even with its imbalanced clunkiness, it was such a beast of a class and gave me a rush everytime i played it, from just dungeon dailies to EX trials. I was even getting gear for savage (something I had never done before) when SHB dropped and crushed my drive to bother getting good.

Why git gud when the only thing i have to do is learn a dance? it's no longer about mastering the class while mastering the dance. at least that's my viewpoint on it.
