The Dark Knight - Evolved Mode Changes

[SakuraMidnight]

Things we want to focus on when we create the dark knight evolved mode. what is a dark knight. what makes it unique from other jobs.

1. MP Focused tank thats needs both mp regaining abilities and mp spending abilities. for most part we done that. but it could be better. way better then actual is.
2. apology to dark knight mains who had to wait so long to have some of there abilities updated that should of been updated long time ago. such as massive cooldown and dark mind. do hope like the changes on them
3. Making Combat feel more Engaging

What would I do if i as programming Dark Knight evolved.


Blood Weapon effect now a Trait - when you use Hard Slash, Siphon Strike and Soul Eater. unleash, Stalwart soul you generate 600 mp this is consistant mp

Blood-Weapon now known Blood Barrier - Is party wide when next damage ability party member or you use deals damage they generate a sheild on them. damage done to this blood barrier when contribute to your blood gauge

Grit is no longer a ability you press its a trait you constantly in tank stance. rather then pressing a button. alot reasons for this change. but its quality of life change.
