It's Time for That Talk Again [Darkside Animation]

[Kumori_Kumo]

It's worth noting that the glowing eye effect associated with Inner Release was historically a part of the original DRK questline, two years ago, but was simply ported over to WAR because it looks cool.

Not to Um-Actually you, but it was part of the WAR quests before DRK was even a thing. S'what made it so cool to finally get it.
But yeah I still find their justifications silly, they should just let you use it regardless of presentation.

I suppose it was actually a BLM thing, by that same token. It might just be me, but it feels like a lot of these fun flavour abilities and animations get shunted towards WAR because they tend to be more outspoken about it, so SE feels the need to cater specifically to them.

I remember the DRK reveal trailer had them get glowing red eyes instead of red cinnamon swirls. But eh whatever. And I remember then saying they would think about adding in a black smoke aura or some such like from the 50 quest but I guess they either forgot or flatout lied about that too.

Well, where's PLD's awesome aura-like thing?

The OP is complaining about a "lack-luster glow effect" when.... PLDs don't even get a glow or anything like that.

Where's our angel wings? Where's all the light that we're supposed to have? We don't have any of that.

Right, so the only glow we get is during the use of one specific ability that is rarely used outside of raids, while WARs and DRKs get to glow all over the place, almost constant, while in any kind of instanced combat whatsoever, and even outside of instances too.

lol.

I don't see that being very fair.

Paladins are about moderation, sobriety and such valors of knighthood.

[Kalocin]

Instead of looking at the other tanks, I think a better way of wording this argument is that Darkside just looks obnoxious and bad. It looks like a placeholder effect from development and they never got around changing it.

What about DRK nerfs? How do you justify that?
