did they make any changes to DRKs / has public opinion changed or are they still kind of just...weird? i know for a while people were like THESE ARE GOOD and then quickly changed to "eh we will just do war/pal as usual"

DRKs are the best MTs because they can push enough DPS to clear content but now that PLDs have the Eso weapon it's not as important. Well, we don't know until A4S is beaten but A3S was done by a DRK for the first 3 clears.

my group is looking for a dps sub this weekend for A1S. caster preferred but we can probably make anything work. running saturday and sunday at 8:30pst to 10:30 pst. pretty low pressure stuff as long as you can pull your weight, be super chill and not be a goony goon sperg (i know that's asking a lot but please, just this once, keep that poo poo in check). if you're interested, make some noise in our thread http://forums.ffgoons.com/showthread.php?tid=27369 or bug me in game and send a tell to Holli Would

Our PLD went DRK to see how it goes and the amount of general damage taken over PLD seems notcieable outside of the tankbusters where they seem to shine. The extra dps is nice though, and it's too probably too early to tell if the extra damage is from the block loss or them not using miscellaneous cooldowns well yet.

Not having block is going to cause a fair amount of extra damage compared to PLD. It's probably not CD usage, since DRK has "Dark Rampart" (identical) and "Dark Sentinel" (same CD but shittier) and Foresight just like PLD, and their extras are Dark Mind (really good but magic only) and Dark Dance (in the running for worst defensive cooldown)

I think it's really cool and good and a unique aspect of this game that tanks and healers are actually hybrid DPS classes.

Maybe they could go in the other direction and give some DPS classes the ability to heal or tank moderately well.

Pages behind but I wish this game would throw it in the face of pubbies more that being a hybrid dps along with tanking and healing is expected. The reason you see 90% of tanks wearing all vit and healers not dpsing is because every other trinity mmo and the main one a lot of people come from do not do it this way.

Main Scenario Progression to Access 4.0 Content

Though it’s still a bit early to talk about this, you’ll be able to access and accept quests for Patch 4.0 even if you have not completed the main scenario for the Patch 3.x series. Similarly, you’ll be able to unlock new jobs regardless of your scenario progression. Due to this, we feel the need to create a system that will allow you to watch a digest of what happened. However, for the 3.0 story, since everyone has seen everything up until now I think it was enjoyable, and while there were some pros and cons for this, I think having the system we did for the 3.x series was a good thing.

Ha, knew they were going to do something like this

Probably never unless they rewrite the party system some day because IIRC it's a giant loving mess and would take a ton of manpower to make what is essentially a QoL change. If you're YoshiP do you have a team work on maybe unfucking the party code so people can queue with birds out or do you have them work on entirely new gameplay that can actually be used to expand the game and draw in more players?

It's not totally without merit, Provoke has longer ranger than Tomahawk/Shield Lob/Unmake so you can engage from further away. You naturally have to use a different threat move after that, but if you don't need provoke in the next 40 seconds there's nothing wrong with it.
