Remember the drk flame aura in 3.0? Can we finally have that back since..

[Aleisterz]

So remember that flame aura that was supposed to be grit or the other skill that was shown in HW's demos and got removed because of issues? ... Derpland sure is flexing his use of that in the ShadowBringer's trailer... Can we have that SE? Please? Finally? PLEASE. D= Everyone with making them see this post!!

I havent seen that as I started in 3.55, but as a DRK enthusiast (and main for this tier) I'd like to see how it used to look.

Got a GIF, video or at least an image of it?

Id hope the big purple aura is like DRKs inner release

I could only find a picture. The internet did a good job hiding the gifs/videos. Its basically flames that were around the drk's feet during the demo reveals. I want the whole body flame aura seen in the trailer for Shadowbringers. <w<



Edit: And... its not showing the picture in here...

Enjoy this the link at least. https://imgur.com/a/PFg7yK9

The easiest thing to do would have been to link the HW job actions trailer.

Since it was never in the game on full release, noone would have got pics/vids, so that's all you have.

That was the aura effect for Darkside that was shown in the HW trailer but was changed before release to remove the "black flame" part of the effect, leaving only the swirling red part of the aura which went through a few iterations (resize, making less bright) to what we have now.

If I recall correctly, their reasoning for why they removed the "black flame" part of the effect was that Darkside was a persistent effect and it looked bad in certain instances that were only really possible with a persistent aura effect, such as when riding a mount.
What I don't understand is that WAR has an aura like that which looks just as bad in such instances as how I imagine the "black flame" version of Darkside would have looked and that was apparently just fine.

Personally I believe Darkside as a whole needs a rework since the Stormblood change made it being a toggleable ability virtually pointless and it's current implementation just feels like it is stuck in legacy limbo where it doesn't need to be a separate ability but just is "because".

If they did this with Darkside and essentially just rolled it's effects into other parts of the DRK kit, I would like to see the aura effect be tied to abilities like Blood Price and Blood Weapon, with perhaps different aura effects for each such as using the aura from the lvl50 DRK job quest for Blood Price and for Blood Weapon have something like the aura from the Shadowbringers teaser, maybe in red instead of purple since it's "Blood" Weapon.

Darkside needs to be reworked as a whole. I never understood why it was nerfed when Warriors aura is way more potent than ours.

I hope with the rework they make the adjustments to make the aura alot better.

I want the aura that Julyan has during the 3.3 Hildibrand quest.

When is it PLD's turn to get an aura? Auras for everyone! Hell, give NIN a Huton aura since MNK has a GL aura!

Oh no, we are way passed getting that old school aura from the Heavensward trailer. Those little black flames are no longer enough!

Now, it's time we received a much cooler looking one. Derplander is sporting a nice and awesome looking aura in the Shadowbringers trailer. Let's have ourselves that one, weapon aura and all!
