I commonly see people say elsewhere that the job is fun because it has MP/Gauge management alongside many off-globals, but I genuinely believe that calling it management is a stretch. The higher rate of both MP and gauge gain have been shot in the foot come ShB, and it has only gotten worse since. Sure, dark arts was an illusion of choice, but at least it was a semi-functional illusion. Doing this borderline same-y oGCD burst phase for 3 expansions straight into only souleater with an occasional bloodspiller, sometimes salted earth/S&D just feels... super unengaging.
I'm (Edge of Shadows) so (Edge of Shadows) glad (Edge of Shadows) they (Edge of Shadows) removed (Edge of Shadows) Dark Arts (Edge of Shadows) so (Edge of Shadows) DRK doesn't spam the same oGCD
