Honestly wild to me that over 1k people have seen my shitty voice acting and opinions. Thank you for everyone who's watched even if you didn't finish! I've had some setbacks on my next project but I'm hoping to have it out before Dawntrail!
I always suggest giving every job a try! While job homogenization has become a problem especially for tanks and healers, I believe tanks still hold a good amount of identity. Plus DRK glams tend to stick out to me!
@@UmbraWynternox Ngl, the glam sold me asap. I just came back from a 8 year hiatus. Due to work and school. But excited to try it out. Not the best tank player but learning every day😊
Switched my main to drk a few weeks ago... regretting that decision. The devs hate DRK, everyone hates DRK, it wont get better. Thinking of just playing something else
Ohhh that's rough. It's been getting a bad rep lately but it can still perform well, if you enjoy the gameplay at all you should stick with it! It took me a while to enjoy GNB the way I do now. Let's hope DT changes things for the better!
I forgot Paladin Cover exists. It's such a shell of it's once great former self. Cover use to reduce the damage you took for an ally. Instead now you take the exact full amount of damage that ally would take which has it feel like a tank buster plus uses it now uses job gauge while already being on 2 min CD too. I've seen it used at bad times, ended up getting the paladin killed. Imo it isn't worth using at all honestly.
It really isn't worth much however as it's a unique skill for paladin I felt the need to mention it since there's still the possibility it could be used to save a healer in a bad situation.
100% agree with TBN, it doesn't make any sense from a tanking prospective. You need to the shield to break to he refunded damage. But if you're overgeared and/or used a mitigation buff that was too strong, the TBN shield doesn't break at all. Like....what? As tanks besides holding aggro, we're suppose to reduce damage taken yet this greatly contradicts that. I miss stormblood Dark Knight so much. It had actually MP management than just saving 3k MP for TBN on CD for dungeon mobs or next tankbuster. "Darkside" was its dps stance, and drained MP in combat, so had to use myriad of other actions to keep your MP up while also using it as a damage resource too. "Dark Arts" was a MP costing buff that enhanced other skill actions. Blood Weapon originally gave haste. Abyssal Drain use to be a GCD with an optional added heal effect via "Dark Arts" that would make War Bloodwhetting blush, yes DRK use to have excellent self heals. Salted Earth use to give job gauge regen. There was Sole Survivor, if an enemy died within this debuff on them, it would heal DRK by almost a quarter of their max HP/MP. The only good things current DRK has is lifeleech for Living Dead finally and lore wise as Fray aka Living Shadow, tho it's a derpy glorified dot with a 5 sec wasted summoning animation, that stops attacking when you are unable to, thus running to you instead and vanishes if your character its hit with a transformation debuf pissing away the rest of its duration.
Wow I never new the extend of how much Dark Knight had before and what's it lost. Sounds so much more interesting then it is now and plays more into the classic Dark Knight you'd see in older FF games. I would love to have something like Sole Survivor back. Thank you for the insightful comment!
I love the aesthetic of Gunbreaker, but my issue with it is their aoe rotation is lacking. Fated Circle comes too late at LV72, or prior, I am just sitting on full gauge when aoeing dungeon mobs. Why isn't Blasting Zone a line aoe? I mean look at it ffs, giant energy sword slam. I'd say have a weaker versions of Bow Shock and Fated Circle gotten earlier at least to fix this, and make even Danger Zone at the start an aoe with fall off dmg.

@@LarenzW Eorzea Collection is a great site to get ideas for glams! Welcome back to the game and best of luck on your learning journey! See you in DT!
DRK can at best finish cleaning the floor up lmao
Squall is the only reason you need to playGNB especially since dawntrail job action

As a Paladin who eats 🍑, I think im classed wrong...
Time to grind GNB before Dawntrail!
Paladin is my 2nd favorite! GNB is just so much more superior imo. Good luck on the grind and see you in DT! Thanks for watching!
@@UmbraWynternox Keep up the good work! Your sense of humor and attention to detail are refreshing!
@@majinbobbyhill828 That's very kind of you to say! Thank you so much!

I agree completely it's very boring till ShB when it comes to dungeon packs, I hope they lower the level Fated Circle unlocks at when DT comes out.
