Tank balance and what CBU3 wants to do with job balance

[Absurdity]

And while I'm very much against button bloat, DRK still isn't QUITE as bad as PLD yet, thankfully.

While the overall amount of buttons isn't an issue Dark Knight absolutely suffers from oGCD bloat, because both your offensive and defensive oGCDs often share the same 15 seconds time window.

But that's an overall problem with the core design of the job, you spam all the buttons for 15 seconds and then sit around for 45 seconds pressing 1-2-3 while questioning your life choices.


But hey, at least it's not Warrior where the entire gameplay feels like you're just pressing 1-2-3, unlike Dark Knight that job could use some more oGCDs.

Yeah, that's fair. XD I suppose it's like NIN with the "cram everything possible into burst, then have an uneventful downtime for the next 45 seconds".

I dunno about the last part, though. I think it's good that Jobs are different. Less homogenization the better. I prefer GNB or PLD to WAR personally, but I get a lot of people like WAR for what it is, and DRK and WAR are already a BIT close as it is, I'm not sure they should be made MORE alike.
