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

A lot of the other tanks or jobs in general get traits that keep the job style different and cooler as you increase level. DRK could use some of those traits and those skill effects for them.

SE won't do this anymore, not ever again.

Examples > Low Blow, Shield Swipe, Blood Price, getting more DPS taking damage, losing DPS if the job isn't main tanking, it only encourages comps to soak more damage they should be avoiding to get more DPS.

I really don't get "dps loss if the job isn't main tanking."

You guys do realize you can put this on other people right? And if that's such a hassle, what about DRG's Dragon Sight? Don't get me wrong, it IS a DPS loss if you don't defend properly. But TBH, tanks need to be better rewarded for defending. There needs to be more incentives to actually use our CDs, rather than just being a scuffed DPS. Say if Oblation restored MP when hit, just slap it on the current MT and there you go, DPS gain with no need for you to take aggro. The problem with Shield Swipe was you couldn't put Sheltron on other tanks. Oblation and TBN (which functions the exact same as old Sheltron, just harder to proc) can be put on other tanks.

We don't use common sense round here!

I would argue that TBN already does this to some level.

In cases yes, but it can be shared than self only, Blood Price, Low Blow, Shield Swipe is self only.

You're miss understanding what I am stating.

Low Blow: Self only > Refreshes when Dark Knight parries.
Blood Price: Self only > Gets more MP taking any source of damage.
Shield Swipe: Self only > Gets more DPS shield blocking attacks.

TBN/Oblation can be shared, these three ^ cannot, you see where I am driving at? "Sharing buffs with team mates and/or self for more DPS is fine", getting more DPS that can only activate by taking damage and only can be used on yourself is not ok. It forces a drive to exploit.

I stated that already though, and that's why I think that it would be cool if we got more "parry" abilities for tanks that reward us for defending others as well. I see a lot of people saying skills like TBN should be reworked/removed cause it rewards a DPS gain for main tanking, even tho that's not the case at all.

If only Sheltron in the past could be shared. Also, I reread my post and it wasn't obvious that I was stating that Sheltron couldn't be shared. Sorry about that.

TBN if reworked to not punish (Grants Dark Arts, by the buff timer running out, and/or shield break) and rewarding DPS is fine, that's not a problem at all, can be shared. I am only against self only abilities and rewarding DPS gains for it. Though the cooldown may have to extend.

We have Intervention anyway, it has the same additions Sheltron received, extra 10% if Rampart, or Sentinel is active, can only be used on team mates, not self. It's pretty fair.

After seeing the Video about all my lost abilities i cried, i literally did.

Think of an Upgrade to Soul Eater which grants a LOT more Healing and has the Animation of "Scourge" i would cry out of joy if that would happen.
I would even pay extra money to have that.

That's DPS though, lol.... For tanks it's a terrible system.
