Dark passenger still useless singe target, they should have removed the mp cost on it this patch, I don't care it would be too similar to circle of scorn.

. . . AOE abilities shouldn't be useful on single target. That's the point of aoe abilities. Not everything has to be useful in every situation.

Let's change Circle of Scorn, Doton, Foul, Salted Earth, Shadow Flare etc. then because they're AoE abilities first and that's gotta be a dichotomy. This line of logic sounds extremely flawed. Dark Passenger was quite usable in Heavensward and there's no reason for it not to be right now. Dark Knight already has Salted Earth, Quietus, Abyssal Drain, and (ugh) Unleash for AoE, Dark Passenger being a STRICTLY AoE ability seems a waste of a cool animation and Dark Knight defining attack for the class.

Because Dark wouldn't have enough buttons to press as is.

that's true. but Dark Passenger wasn't even that usefull in aoe situations. i only use it on low lvl for the aoe blind because it's at least something defense wise. and when i pull really really and my mana overflows and i have no idea where to spend it. so pretty niche.

however, there are other aoe skills wich are usefull on singletarget too. i have no idea about all the classes, but assise, aero 3, circle of scorn, shadow flare, salted earth and hissatsu guren come to my mind. so it's nothing new. and we are used to use dark passenger in single target from 3.0. changing it and then it's still kinda meh for aoe situations? then better change it back to the 3.0 state.

edit: man i am really a slow typer xD
