Started at 2.0 (ARR launch), favorite became HW DRK. Everything flowed so perfectly, everything worked in harmony. Dark Arts was used for a very few amount of moves, Parrying would allow the use of Reprisal (used to be exclusively DRK move), critting would allow Low Blow (another former DRK exclusive) to come off cooldown so we could spam it for damage, we had a DoT, a second combo that specialized in doing damage, a constant MP degen going with Darkside so we had to balance using MP and keeping it up constantly, Abyssal Drain was a GCD AoE you could spam for HP when you needed to (but it still sucked out a lot of MP), and cooldowns for days, you could always have 1-2 going at any time. Oh the glory days of DRK, how I miss you so...but then it because that travesty and trash that was SB DRK with the DA spam that was so unfun and annoying, all while SE removed all that made DRK great to give WAR and PLD moves they never needed to begin with. I'm glad DRK is in a better spot now thanks to the changes for ShB, but man do I miss HW DRK.
