Is anyone surprised at this point?

I would'nt be mad at all if they'd get rid of that DPS check meta we have and give Tanks more machanics to deal on the fight, having to focus on actually protecting the party members, i miss some weird mechanics like Awareness on Helicarnassus or the dumb WAR running around the arena taking aggro from the adds on Melusine's fight so the healers dont get shot, the PLD covering the WHM/Voking the add on Nael's so they dont stab the healers as soon it spawns, these kinds of mechancis that made me feel like tank wanst just another DPS that takes the Tank Buster.

oof... reading through 17 pages takes a while... this post is aimed at the conversation that Shao32, RinaB, and WhyAmIHere were having, and is my own thoughts on the matter.

as mentioned by RinaB, the way that different Dark Knight players are split into different "groups", is actually quite a problem.
a lot of Dark Knights all want change, but there is a bit of a lack of agreement on the how and what of this change.

that aside, again as mentioned by RinaB, but also Shao32, here is my opinion.
to be honest, I am apart of the "HW Dark Knight is best" group, but I also am against just copy-and-paste bringing back the original 3.x Dark Knight.
my thoughts are that the best move for Dark Knight would be to take original 3.x Dark Knight, remaster it into a new form that would fit how the game functions now, and then take the current Dark Knight, fix its three most mentioned problems, being living Dead, Delirium, and Blood Weapon, before taking both of these and merging them together into one.

I think that the best thing for Dark Knight, would be to remaster HW Dark Knight and add its most iconic parts, actions and most importantly the "identity" of Dark Knight, and merge that with what the current Dark Knight has.
we could keep BlackBlood gauge, gain a lot more MP-related skills, make DarkSide less boring, more interactive, and require more effort to maintain it, through oGCDs interacting with it, have MP and BlackBlood interacting with each other, have both of actions that cost one or the other, and actions that cost both; have our dual resources both generated more, through oGCDs and GCDs, more GCD options than just a single 1-2-3 combo, and have Dark Knight juggle various oGCDs between GCDs, instead of just Edge/Flood of Darkness/Shadow spam and occaional long-CD oGCD.

Wish people had this type of enlightenment with my old main, I’m excited to see where DRK goes it’ll either be ok or horrible

For the most part, I feel apprehension and not certain towards 6.0 Dark Knight... I want to hope, but if I hope, the disappointment will just hurt more.
