Bloodspiller and Blood Weapon Synergy.

[NEW]Bloodspiller:
Delivers an attack with a potency of 400.

Increases potency of Bloodspiller and Quietus by 20% while Blood weapon is active.

"Kind of like Blood of the Dragon with the jump potency increase"

Dark Arts Potency: 540
Grit Potency: 475
Dark Arts+Grit Potency: 650
Blood Gauge Cost: 50
Dark Arts fades upon execution.

This would also make using Tbn and it popping in the blood weapon window dps neutral or possibly a gain. Also brings more depth into the job. What are your thoughts on this?

DRK is a tank. So I don’t see that aspect of the kit being buffed.

That is funny given the lengths they went with Stormblood buffing up the usage of Fell Cleave and adding PLDs own "fell cleave" + "fell cleave buff" in form of Holy Spirit + Requiescat.

That said I don't think the initial idea is that smart to implement given how central Blood Weapon is to DRK's gameplay - further buffing up what it can do for no cost involved would be a bit much.

Holy Spirit has been nerfed already. And the fell cleave argument is moot since Tank DPS is more in line with one another than it’s ever been.

The word you want to use is "moot," not Mute.

Doesn't mean much when out of the 4 new active abilities we have in SB, 3 of them are meant for attacking. I do agree that this change is not one that will likely happen but it has nothing to do with the fact that DRK is a tank or not, they are more than willing to focus on tank damage and adding more tank damage because it's the only thing that gives tanking any sort of depth.

The reason this will isn't an idea that will happen is because something like this would widen the skill gap between tanks dependent on tank stance and tanks that are capable of playing without it, which is the opposite of what they were trying to do with the skill changes.
