Do you know what the fucking quotes mean or are you just dense? I play scholar in endgame content. I know how to play; I'm not a complete moron like you seem to think I am.
I just fucking said that the point of giving a damage-dealing role to a tank class like Gladiator makes a lot of sense because they can drop their goddamned damage stance and offtank crazy mobs in emergencies, then reactivate it and resume doing damage. Hell, in an earlier post I explained exactly how DRK being a GLA job would be absolutely amazing for fights like Garuda EX, where you sometimes need three tanks (cyclone phase) but mostly just need two!
BUT NO. You continue to insult my intelligence by misrepresenting my position. The lot of ya'll are just so bound up in the idea that DRK has to have a two-handed sword or scythe or axe and be exactly fuckin' like it was from FFXI because none of you can let go of the goddamned past.
AND BESIDES I already outlined a way to make it so the only, the only, the absolute only abilities being wasted on a GLA-derived DRK, would be things like their defensive cooldowns. Which, if I remember correctly, other damage-dealers have and don't use unless they get aggro. Well, duuuuuh. But since you clearly can't read (but can somehow write, not really sure how that works), you completely missed the Darkside toggled ability (or stance, if you will) that DRK would get at level 30 upon completing their class quest.
Darkside, as the name might suggest, allows the dark knight to indulge in their... dark side. All of the additional enmity effects are stripped from their weaponskills, abilities and spells. Their base damage is improved by 20% and their damage taken is increased by 15%. Oh, look, nothing at all has been made useless except: Provoke... and that's it! Everything else still has a use. Maybe it's situational, but it still has a use. Even Flash can still be used to apply Blind.
Whoa. Whoa. Whoa.Â
No one here called you a moron or attempted to insult you. This response is a bit heated and uncalled for. You have your opinion, and you are more than entitled to it. You are not, however, entitled to insult anyone else because you happen to disagree with others. No one here deserves to be called dense, or have their ability to read called into question simply because you would like things one way, and they see things another. Take some time, calm down, and lets move on to discussing something else. This appears to be a bit of a heated topic for some.
