As your character progresses in the game and becomes stronger and gets a new job of course some new skills are going to come along and make the old ones worthless. That is how RPG's have been for eons.
Have you? My first character was a Dark Knight, and I've remade it at least 10 different times over the years. Pretty sure I was playing a Spearman before Shinku over here. Of course that doesn't mean I know more, but I still strongly disagree with the notion that Dark Knights have lost something, besides achilles.
Hyper Hyper Body can give twice as much HP and MP as Decent HB, also, Decent HB isn't a party skill.
before we didn't use SB and PS past third job. no we don't use PS, SB, wavethinguie, buster, and fury. the whole point of rpg's is growing stronger yes, but they're not "let's replace everything we knew", but rather "let's improve on it" final fantasy has the cure, cura, curaga, curaja. shell, shellga, and so on, same for offensive magic. the offensive magic (and skills) all have variety, you can use some better or worse depending on the situation, like we could use fury or crusher better depending on the situation.
tales of- also tends to allow you to use low level skills, and rewards you in fact because they combo into better skills.
what other rpg's can i think of... eeh, that MMORPG spirit tales i think was called, every skill you learned, even those at level 1, stayed useful for the rest of your gameplay. dragon nest also has the low level skills have some use at higher levels, be it comboing or specific attributes. maple is the only game that keeps getting dumbed down by having everything replaced by a single skill. no variation at all.
decent HB is also undispellable for most classes, which i value a lot more than some extra HP, plus getting hp nowadays isn't really even required for most classes like it was back then.
[MENTION=5959]Even[/MENTION]; he isn't wrong about the HP, if using decent HB gave you 4k hp, regHB+boost would give you 8k, that is twice the bonus.
