Some DRK changes seem annoyingly simple yet are ignored....

You do see a lot of people who want stuff removed just because they don't like it when really they should just play a different job.

This is my general stance on it. If you dont like TBN cause of the resource cost, fine, we have 3 other tanks with free-use mitigation, and if you want a similar busy feel GNB is right there.
If its an aesthetics thing, WAR's got some nice animations and a big weapon too.

I understand the frustration with the state of DRK, but I do feel like a lot of complaints come from people who probably wouldn't have even liked how it played in Stormblood.
I'll agree there was more flavor, but there was always a level oGCD spam, and there were just as many kinks and flaws in its design back then, it never really had a deep GCD focus.
Yeah it had an alt combo, but emnity combos weren't real, you'd used them like once, and then emnity was basically not even handled by the tanks beyond that point.
