Dark Knight Megathread

[Reinhardt_Azureheim]

I'd really prefer if Dark Mind had a feedback effect similar to TBN breaking when used against a magic attack, instead of being a flat thirty. Doesn't really matter what it is, it just should feel satisfying or at least immediately obvious when you used it correctly.

The simplest solution would them just straight up changing the damage taken color based on damage type.

It has already been done by the modding community by using packet data the game literally sends to your client and adding a colour filter based on the type being physical, magical or breath (dubbed Dark damage in the west). This requires zero additional QnA, so as much as I respect the developers if some hobby coders can do this, they should pull through and add it already.

They axed the ability to use markers mid combat in favour of having waymark sets and additional waymarks, to at least half emulate the Paisly Park plugin, yet to this day we've yet to see:

- identifiers of damage types in damage text
- the ability to see shields in your parameter HP bar, which they only added in the party UI
- the function to split your MP from HP and hide it separately, which they did with buffs and debuffs for a while now
- the ability to see what class someone is without having to see their physical weapon, animations or by examining (job icons in nameplates) (this feature is infinitely more relevant in 24mans or Adventuring Forays like Bozja, but would benefit generally)
- option to fold combos into one button, similar to pvp combos, with the Endwalker Gnashing Fang combo in PVE becoming exactly that

And many more seriously great QoL things developed by 3rd parties. Like damn man, would it hurt the pride of the dev team this much to sit down with the modders and make objectively great QoL as features, so console players can enjoy it too? God pay them if you have to to get around law issues.
