Dark Knight Megathread

[Anahlise_Auhn_Giinslai]

I kinda wish they'd just ditch Role Actions altogether. No more Rampart for all Tanks, instead we get Rampart for Paladin, Foresight for Warrior, Shadowskin for Dark Knight, and something new for Gunbreaker. No more Esuna for all Healers, instead we get Esuna for White Mage, Leeches for Scholar, Exalted Detriment for Astrologian, and something new for Sage. Yoshi-P talked about wanting to focus on Job identity going into Endwalker, maybe give Jobs unique animations rather than making them share generic Role Actions. Not like they don't have a lot of old animations floating around somewhere seeing as how Foresight, Shadowskin, Leeches, and Exalted Detriment used to be in the game and were killed for Role Actions. How the kit functions is one part of Job identity, how it looks is another part, and stuff like Rampart doesn't scream Dark Knight, it's just Tank.

More or less what I was thinking, yeh... /slight smile
some Role Actions are sort of fine to me, such as Provoke, Interject, Shirk, and some Role Actions I sort of forgive, Low Blow and Reprisal, though I have
a concept for Dark Knight gaining two new "Slash" actions, remasters of old Low Blow and old Reprisal, but.. the Rampart, I do not forgive that one.

And did the man himself really say that? ...To focus on Job Identity in EndWalker... Gods forgive me if I am dumb enough to hope that 6.0 really will be redemption for Dark Knight, if we can make the safe assumption of that means the possibility of no more WAR clone.. perhaps the things in Dark Knight threads are being considered...
