A video showcasing all of Dark Knight's removed job actions. Thoughts?

I may be wrong (big possibility that i am) but it always felt to me that, when it came to animations, the ones in Heavensward had much more impact compared to the ones we have now.
Like for example, Shadowbringer which is the equivalent of of Flood of shadow V2, and when you compare this to Dark passenger with you character empowering their sword before smacking the ground and sending this wave of darkness.
These animation always felt more "right" to me for this class.
(And they were way better than hitting like a wet noodle with bloodspiller)

You don't have to be, if you really want it.

More for the functionality of Dark Knight, not just the aesthetic. You can't restore that with mods.

It's probably a budget issue and you are indeed correct. Shadowbringer having rocks jumping from the ground but it has no impact for a lack of a better term.

Then you compare it to Reaper and it's easily because they don't spend much time on the sounds and animations.

Man, I WISH I could have played this DRK. Even cooler looking attacks with actual self-sustain? Sign me right the hell up!

Here is the HW flowchart, with the old joke that the DRK was a cook serving seafood to the numerous guests. It was fun and kind of satisfying to dump MP on a lot of Abyssal Drain.
Though hard on the ears, like Dark Art abuse xD

Thankfully Living Dead means remains unchanged from it's inception.

Easily the most satisfying tool of DRK'S entire kit

I think i just heard the sarcasm meter explode in the distance.
Or was it the cry of a thousand souls that played Dark Knight since Heavensward, asking to have their memory wiped.
Who knows.

I guess the point is to be a joke more than actual gameplay advice, but damn there's some horrifyingly bad advice in that chart (Not that it matters now).

It was fine for general use and dungeons.

A video was posted yesterday that shows all skills that have been purged from a Dark Knight's skill list, including a few that people seem to sorely miss.

You can watch the video in the following two links:
- https://youtu.be/IXMTLM19JZw (shows name of skills and tooltipis)
- https://youtu.be/Z2rZYp4vJTM (textless version)

I never got to see any of these skills live in the actual client, so I'm curious to see what people have to say or think about any of these; or if there's any you'd like to see brought back to the game.

*I peek in...* Serious question, though. What in the bloody bleeding cursed 72 hells is that "BrimStone" action? ;w; it had ??? for its description... X'3 My curiosity will kill me, if I do not find out what that BrimStone action is, because I want to know, darn it. ;w; I did some research, for 4 hours, and I can not find information about it, on the internet... >->
