Some names are awful, Pack Leader compared to Dark Ranger is meh. I can understand if there is a lore reason, but it doesn’t sound as good.
Oh I like it. Because it makes me think of having a ‘pack of pets’. And since I like pets and summoning more beasts, I’m hoping it’ll do stuff like that.
I just wish it had an iconic title not just with Hunter but with other classes like Dark Knight because they’ve got Rider of the Apocalypse and Sanlayn with a 3rd which is completely forgettable. I hope we get stuff which invokes the idea but with some gravitas to it.
dark knights are from other game, but their names is pure lore connections yes, and so happened that death knights have the most edgiest names ever.
For warlock they are making things up again like it was in legion (aside from scepter of sargeras)
It’s all the same to me at this point. It all just blurs into one.
dark knights in ffxiv are edgy magical girls (almost literally) and death knights in warcraft are necromantic elite knights created by 2 lich kings.
Death in Death knight is big part of their personality
well yes of course they based off sylvanas powers because she is the original dark ranger, death knights are based off arthas too, but that doesn’t mean that they can do everything arthas does, because they don’t have domination magic steroids, why would they, also player hunter isn’t undead unless they are y’know forsaken.
All the instances of dark rangers that i’ve seen in game apart from sylvanas is some edgy hunter, nathanos is bright example of it, but there are also background dark rangers that are either completely neglected or don’t show anything crazy sylvanas-like.
Dark knight isn’t a FF14 thing it’s been in media a lot longer and death knight is just the wow version of it, you can replace dark with death it’s still the same archetype. The first time you see the archetype is the black knight from Arthurian legend and death knights are trained by Arthas. Come on. The whole idea of Mournblades isn’t even from wow but Elric of Melniboné is the modern inspiration of it and much within modern fantasy.
I’m using what the developers said they included the jailor powers as inspiration for the hero class.
there aren’t anything very specifically jailer-related in talent tree, necromantic hounds and chains always’ve been necromancy schtick not jailer schtick, when i say sylvanas being buffed by jailer i mean doing anime melee fights and showing super strength.
They mention the chains and her fight against bolvar as direct inspiration for the talent tree.
Okay lmao
If they’ll add something “not boring” it can interfere with rotation flow, so it can ruin class for you far more than just adding some little mechanic and flavor.
They are making hero talents small for reason
If they decide to not further expand on the Dark Ranger hero spec mechanics, it should at least have a lot of visuals to establish the theme more than just the Black Arrow and occasional shadowy pet.
have you seen the hero trees. all are a complete mess. some more clunky than the others. at least they sound like that.
buffs, procs and more. weakauras will fix it
