A video showcasing all of Dark Knight's removed job actions. Thoughts?

[Maulclaw]

A video was posted yesterday that shows all skills that have been purged from a Dark Knight's skill list, including a few that people seem to sorely miss.

You can watch the video in the following two links:
- https://youtu.be/IXMTLM19JZw (shows name of skills and tooltipis)
- https://youtu.be/Z2rZYp4vJTM (textless version)

I never got to see any of these skills live in the actual client, so I'm curious to see what people have to say or think about any of these; or if there's any you'd like to see brought back to the game.

Imagine your main combo was Low Blow>Scourge>Power Slash.
Imagine your AOE was Spinning Slash>Tar Pit
Imagine you could apply "Sin" stacks and each 10 stack makes a shadow guillotine appear on top of your target and you could set it off with Sole survivor.

Just throwing out ideas, but mainly I absolutely hate the current animations. They're all floaty and weightless, I mean wtf is Bloodspiller...

I like the animations.

I have more issue with the DPS ability button bloat we are having now. i sometimes feel like i have more DPS buttons as a Tank then some of the DPS jobs in the game no joke.
And they are not even fun to use because most of them don't do anything extra just some average dmg and thats it.
it does not even mater in what order you use them or when just hit it when its up.

There was someone posting a meme about DRK gameplay of
Random BS GO !
then wait 45 sec to do it again.

thats actualy not a meme but facts lol

Several of these animations were brought back in less flashy form as role actions (Reprisal, Low Blow, and Delirium as Interject). All three were fantastic in their original form. I wouldn't mind a second tiered combo system that was resource dependent, like Reaper's combo system. Perhaps if you use a Edge/Flood move, you temporarily gain access to an enhanced combo step for the next GCD.

Honestly, I wish we'd keep the role actions... but have their animations adapt to the job in question. Keep the original DRK ones as they are and fit the other three jobs to their own themes. No idea how hard this would be considering not even modders can make this work from what I read online. I'm sure SE could do it, obviously. I personally really like the way these felt for DRK, they sure packed a punch in their original form like you said.

Man, I WISH I could have played this DRK. Even cooler looking attacks with actual self-sustain? Sign me right the hell up!

Here is the HW flowchart, with the old joke that the DRK was a cook serving seafood to the numerous guests. It was fun and kind of satisfying to dump MP on a lot of Abyssal Drain.
Though hard on the ears, like Dark Art abuse xD

Reprisal and Low Blow looked so cool back then

Reprisal and Low Blow looked so cool back then

I absolutely LOVED getting those procs. Reprisal had 210 potency, so it wasn't a meaningless counter on top of the 10% damage reduction.

There is a smaller and smaller % of the playerbase that remembers the original DRK, so as time goes on the odds of us getting anything back decreases greatly. Stormblood took so much from us and we've still never recovered the "feel"..............

I really wish that Sole Survivor would make it back into the game as a compensation for Living Dead, so that if you use the latter, SS will trigger when youre either the last man standing or you killed the target, curing walking dead and healing you for arround half max HP.
