That's kinda how it works - If bards hadn't left bard en masse after the introduction of Wanderers Minuet, they might not have removed it in Stormblood. Not playing a job anymore is one of the best ways to show them that something is wrong with it.

A whole lotta people like to say "There was a mass exodus of people palying X job and thats why SE fixed it". Can someone post some numbers? Anything to back up these random claims? "Wars left at SB. Brds left at HW. Drks leaving now." Stats please.

It’s HW all over again one tank is in the pits now you will see PFs with PLD and WAR combos only lol good job SE....

P.s. don’t just buff what dark arts does especially since dark arts itself needs a make over...

Majority of tanks I got when leveling through the roulette my three healers to 70 (astrologian from ~46) in Stormblood were Dark Knights. The least numerous seemed to be Paladins. I almost always had chains of two or more Dark Knights in a row, I hardly had Paladins in a row, sometimes Warriors.

So...yeah?! I don't think Dark Knights are being left. They are not unplayable, so people still play them even if they are the underdogs (I didn't touch mine since Heavensward, so I wouldn't know). It won't change, unless they will literally be unable to continue following a preferred play style (mass-tanking) at all, while other tanks will. From what people comment about them, that's their forte though...so it seems quite unlikely.

They may have less success in difficult and/or boss only (Primals) content of course. But hey, there's always going to be some underdog. What's important is to give every class viability to finish it, not necessarily become preferred for static parties.
