I don't get people issue with the job tbh....didn't everyone like "claim" that tbn is like the best skill ever

Anyway....yeah dark knights have had 2 reworks and for heavensake I do NOT miss dark arts spam at all...that playstyle was legit crap and annoying as hell to play with


The problem with dark knight is "drumroll" people play the crap out of it and got soo use to the rotation "quickly" that they are now "bored" of it

I see a lot of new players enjoying dark knight and even players who never tanked before in their life , also dark knight is actually easy to play for those type of people aswell

The problem is with the "veteran" community is that they want to bring back the "old" ways ...even know I been playing for 8 years in total, I do NOT want to bring back those days

But I will voice 1 thing, and I always said it even as a mentor....if people want to play tank for the first time, play warrior and dark knight, and the reason is because they are easy to pick up and learn

This is the whole thing I dislike today is that EVERYONE is pushing for "complexity" who been around for a few years, but news flash, not everyone likes complexity and for the "growth" of the game some jobs needs to NOT have complexity to it

I been around for years and always said to new players of they want to start to play in any roll

Tanks
Warrior or dark knight

Healers
White mage

Melee
Samurai

Caster
Black mage

Physical range
Machinest

The reasons is and I will quote momo on this the best jobs to learn is those who can do well outsides of buff windows or is a selfish dps, or is easy to use overall , every other job is more "advance" to perform well in any raid content ...both with warrior and dark knight u can legit just press 1 button to start burst mode off (not going the whole min max rotation bs btw)


So yeah if people want more complex or "fun" job maybe a change from the job will bring back love, or do what most people do, just change job every expansion to keep things fresh

Myself (main 1 in each role)

ARR
Scholar / summoner / paladin / bard / monk

HW
Astrologian / black mage / warrior/ machinest/ dragoon

SB
white mage / red mage / dark knight / bard/ ninja

Shb
White mage / red mage / paladin / dancer/ samurai

Endwalker
Plans to get reaper / sage to 80 then leveling crafter's and gathers / white mage to 90, but most likely will main white mage + paladin this expansion
