There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t miss HW DRK.

Nice vufeo
Still miss those
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"..............
Yeah, it feels like an attempt at rewriting history. You present a lie as a fact to the general populace long and often enough eventually people will either forget and believe or will know nothing but the lie because they were born being taught that way.
HW DRK was the peak of this game for me. I'd give anything to have it back.
Tbh I think that with some changes it could be brought be. Could even add some stuff from SB and ShB to it to make something pretty cool.
They already proved with Sage that they're okay with modifying moves, something DA was back in HW before it was dumbed down only to be for offensive moves. Bring back Dark Arts, and return it to where it's used for both defensive AND offensive purposes, making it the job identity again. DA Oblation (now lower level move) to get TBN. DA Flood of Shadow to get Shadowbringer. DA Dark Mind to get Dark Messenger. DA Unleash to get Salted Earth. DA Unmend to get Abyssal Drain, etc. Make DRK a tank that uses its dark magic to adjust and change its own moves.
Exactly what I was thinking, and is probably the most likely rework if we ever get one since Eukrasia is a thing.They already proved with Sage that they're okay with modifying moves, something DA was back in HW before it was dumbed down only to be for offensive moves.

Just to add in tho: DA Blood Weapon to get Blood Price

Glad to see I'm not alone! Long live HW DRK in our minds.
See... Now you playin with my sentiment, i just feel like i'm watching a funeral video of a loved one, now... I'm definitely not gonna touch DRK until they fix him ! Give me back "Power Slash", "Dark Arts", "Scourge", everythiiiiiiiiiing !!!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.
