How dangerous would it be...

About the only reason I can see for darkside neutralizing refresh now is that we have very clean-cut MP numbers. All our spells cost nice, round numbers, all our restoration is nice, round numbers, and our max MP is a nice, round number of 9480. Throwing in a refresh (or turning off darkside) messes that number up.

I'd still rather have the refresh, to be honest.

Soul Survivor begs to differ.

Yeah, it kind of messes it up now. That's the price paid for letting it trigger off anything.

BLM can't accept MP from Mana Shift (or Refresh, Ewer) if Astral Fire is active.

Black Mage can accept Chunks of MP, like from Manashift, it just cant obtain refresh status while under Astral fire (stuff like Lucid, Ranged Refresh, or the Ewer.) Its the only reason Convert works in Astral fire.

When on RDM the hubby will feed manashifts to BLMs if the healers are fine, his MP is healthy, there isn't a bard and if he sees that they just refreshed astral fire, so he knows they have enough time to adjust their rotation for the extra Astral spell.

Personally, given the aesthetic, I always thought of it as Dark Knight not relying on other people. It's the the solo vigilante class. It's ability to protect is narrow, its focus in Heavensward was on disabling / debuffing an enemy rather than protecting the party directly, and it just didn't play nice with anyone.

Given that DRK has pathetic self-healing on single targets, the only invulnerability of the three tanks that kills them without help, and can throw shields on others almost at will with TBN, it's really the least independent of the tanks now.

In fact, I love that way for the DRK.

It has the best sustain of the tanks.

It's just nobody ever wants to be in Grit.
