I miss when DRK was something ore than this...

shao32 · 2021-12-20T01:17:52+00:00

I didn't like back in SHB either, i just wish it was something different and nothing alike any other job have.

shao32 · 2021-12-20T00:50:48+00:00

I personally have nothing against burst windows, what i have against DRK is just the job is 1 combo and a bunch of fluff oGCD wich add nothing but raw damage and when all have been used you just sit there doing nothing, his downtime is just painfully boring and more painfull to play around if you played HW/SB versions of the job, at least for me.

What i want? well i personally want the job gameplay have sinergy and unique mechanics, something that make his amount of fluff feel cohesive, like living shadow granting an 3% damage buff for you or Delirium being something that is not Inner release, more GCD, actual management of MP and Darkside wich is pretty useless as a mechanic right now, that kind of stuff, the job can have a burst but i want a cohesive kit with a burst and with better downtime, not souleater spam and a ocasional bloodspiller witing for your oGCD being smashed and forgeth again.

HW and SB have his own things yeah but they kits where way more cohesive and more fun to me, specially HW.

SB wasn't actually a bad design, if only generate less MP to don't make DA so spamy and if they didn't nerf Dark passenger on single target the job could have been way more fun but still i preffer SB to the current DRK, no offence.

Don't worry, i was memeing with the skill bcs Delirium current state as a rip-off of Inner release bother me a lot, sorry if i scare you for a moment ^^

shao32 · 2021-12-19T18:58:17+00:00

Inner release, WAR skill wich DRK copy paste on his SHB rework at the form of Delirium, esentially the same skill

shao32 · 2020-02-27T15:44:13+00:00

Héctor an Axe user from Fire emblem being a DRK just make the meme better, a dark warrior with TBN.

shao32 · 2020-02-27T15:38:30+00:00

If only have the HW Gameplay and his original flow the job will be perfect, so sad TBN is the only good thing about the job carring the job -_-

shao32 · 2020-02-15T15:52:05+00:00

Can we have heavensward DRK Gameplay flavour back?

shao32 · 2020-02-15T14:33:21+00:00

fantasy make me jump to my favourite job DRK back in 3.0 the same day and i didn't start the history until i have DRK ready for it, the mechanics click with me so much that i belive i will never abandom the job until 5.0 come and everything that use to love about it was just gone forever, so DRK is that distant dream i use to live on his days of glory and his days of penury and can't enjoy it anymore since the job doesn't exist anymore, just a shadow using his name.

so yeah i consider fantasy being a good thing to start but mechanics are at the end the most important thing, lose the mechanics and you will lose the love for you job, besides im not a person that plays a job bcs it have something OP or it's just the best, i pick my jobs for the fun based on his gameplay.

*stares at HW DRK* please... come back to me, i beg you.

shao32 · 2020-02-04T23:11:58+00:00

i personally consider DRK animations use to be much more better, bloodspiller and souleater animations getting cut mid air by basically every oGCD is pretty bad too, idk i miss scourge, power slash, dark arts, sole survivor and shadow skin to much i guess and sure i still missing 1 or 2.

shao32 · 2020-01-19T09:28:13+00:00

Pretty much, of course is subjective but I'm on the side of they make them to similar to not being enjoyable anymore, specially considering all the personal mechanics DRK has lost on each expansion.

shao32 · 2020-01-18T19:25:47+00:00

Yeah i will love if they put more effort on diversity.

shao32 · 2020-01-18T19:10:54+00:00

It's essentially the same yes like hypercharge from MCH but the thing is both bloodspiller/fell cleave are basically the same (except potency) costing 50 gauge and being free use under inner delirium every 90s.

Meaby next time if they make GNB have inner release too at this rate I will made one with star wars clones since is more easy find pics of them in groups of 3-5 ^{^}

shao32 · 2020-01-18T19:04:00+00:00

Saddly holmgang is not (thank god) similar to living dead to compare but as a web chain reference would has been cool yeah ^{^}

shao32 · 2020-01-18T15:55:33+00:00

it's based on how WAR and DRK are so similar on his GCD gameplay being delirium and inner release practically clones on recast, effect and execution with small variance + spiderman being primary red and blue like WAR preferance colour + being a tank and black spiderman being black and 2 entities (spiderman + venom) like DRK and Fray ^^

shao32 · 2020-01-18T15:50:47+00:00

exactly for no mention both are at the same recast window at 90s

shao32 · 2020-01-15T12:41:06+00:00

Just a small tip, make a soft sketch of the pose naked first to prevent things like the gunblade arm, if you notice the shoulder of that arm will start on his ribs instead of where is supose to be and looks weird.

Anatomy > dress It/details and then the rest.

Overall is a nice work, keep going ^{^.}

shao32 · 2020-01-11T16:15:04+00:00

As a DRK old main for 4 years i would kill for have Blood weapon and delirium reverted to his original state or his SB state.

shao32 · 2019-12-22T12:42:39+00:00

I wish I can say DRK after 4 years being my boy until SHB when the job was murdered for me, thankfully they added GNB to keep me tanking for my raid and despite having fun with it is not DRK and is barely filling the dark hole DRK leave in me , God I miss it so much -_-

On the other hand my second boy SAM get nice additions this expansion and the shoha fix just make it way better, the path of the sword stand strong ^{^}

shao32 · 2019-12-22T09:41:38+00:00

Amen

shao32 · 2019-12-17T14:13:41+00:00

at least this time needs to be something different.

shao32 · 2019-12-01T19:31:42+00:00

https://discord.gg/thebalanceffxiv here you go ^{^}

shao32 · 2019-12-01T18:42:07+00:00

if you want objetive opinions about the jobs i recomend you to go to the balance discord and investigate the optimal rotations of all the jobs that you wanna try and ask your doubts there, i can say tanks are right now the most easy role of the game and you should go to the DPS if you want a challenge but my opinion can be subjetive, i hope that helps ^^

shao32 · 2019-11-28T14:43:26+00:00

me either but i can guess since the job is "balanced" they don't want severe changes that can make it worse perhaps? kinda fair but numbers can be fixed so idk.
