• Dark Arts Stance/Heal Stance: I do like this, but I would prefer if it were Darkside since that's what its original shtick was. As for what to do with Dark Arts, I just want it returned as an action that we use, plain and simple. It feels better to me to have the agency rather than just having it built in.
  • Regarding MP: I still feel like it's quite low especially given the Dark Arts Stance concept. 4k MP is 40% of our MP bar. Though this could just be my Stormblood brain wanting the glory days of the most fun MP and gauge management I've had the pleasure of playing.
  • Edge and Tar Pit: I would miss Salted Earth, but I do like Tar Pit and I'll take this in place of maintaining a thoughtless timer.
  • C&S/AD: Okay, I actually love this idea. I'm also putting in my vote with Reinhardt to make it more dynamic with 50 gauge(min potency) to 100 gauge(max potency)
  • Disesteem: I honestly just don't like Living Shadow as a whole and would prefer an actual DoT to manage and/or just keep Disesteem (it's cool, okay?) and give us another method of access. Perhaps this could be the Bloodspiller upgrade from Carve and Spit?
Mitigation:
  • Dark Missionary: Longstanding request. Though I would really prefer they kept the magic mit and put some phys mit on top to keep it different from the others..
  • Dark Mind: Something actually different suggested is welcome. I would happily take this instead of just being another boring flat mit.
  • TBN + Oblation: If TBN isn't kept as an "on break" then this is fine, but I vastly prefer the flexibility of oblation being another CD whether or not this is the case. Though I DO like the on-break granting a regen.
  • Living Dead: I really don't see the point of removing the fail state when we would have heal stance + the sustain they added to LD.
