Delerium Blade debuff, any info?

[Sedation]

It's not affected by Dark Arts.

[Xenosan]

From what I've seen, no. There is no DA buff for Delirium.

DRK already gets a Path debuff in Reprisal.

I was hoping Delirium would be a slashing damage or magic damage up. I'll settle for Dragon kick though.

Just thinking out loud: Souleater doesn't require combo for health absorb, just DA.

Dark Mind requiring Darkside o.O?

[Zsword]

Can we see Darkside's tooltip please? It'd be nice to know what I'm getting into when I have my giant glowy sword going. :P

15% (edit: Had said "5", but I accidentally dropped the '1') more damage and constant mana draw plus it enables the use of a couple skills.
Nobody really knows if you'll be able to keep it up constantly via MP the DRK's various methods but it seems like it will be close. It's the dark arts that you'll probably have to ration.

Somebody in another tread quoted 15% on Darkside. Can't vouch for the source of course. Part of me knows we'll find out tomorrow, the other part of me is curious now.

The reason I ask is one of my friends who is about as in the know as me is saying a good number of the MP restoratives turn into HP restoratives when I brought up the same point the Rbstr. I think we might be able to maintain darkside with a bit of effort and he thinks that it'll be changing MP restore to HP, which, I never heard anything about and was hoping someone else had more info one. @.@;;

Hearing 15% too. But 15% increase beneath a 20% Grit reduction is overall better than Maim's 20% increase beneath Defiance's 25% reduction.

Power Slash has an additional enmity bonus with Dark Arts which is added on top of the Combo bonus's enmity modifier.

Really curious what sort of modifier that looks like. If hate can be locked that means more Syphons, even when MTing, which means more Darkside

Well, even on WAR, you don't have to worry too much about hate after the big pull and can easily go into the End/Path rotation if you want to. I imagine things can work that way with DRK.

Pull in grit+darkside and arts the combo finisher for the extra extra enmity and roll into an MP managment/DPS rotation kinda thing. Plus hope you have a war for the slashing debuff.

WAR can stack buffs via UBIR to get 3x massively buffed butcher's blocks. Even better if you were able to sneak in maim & SE first (BB combo > SE combo > UBIR). Even PLD has a solid boost with FoF. I'm not seeing many flat damage potency buffs for the DRK outside of Blood Weapon (which is decent, but not amazing). Since it looks like DRK is going to have to rely solely on a single action with buffed enmity, I don't know how that's going to stack up.

Delirium
Delivers an attack with a potency of 100.
Combo Action: Syphon Strike Combo Potency: 280
Combo Bonus: Reduces target's INT by 10%
Duration: 20s
Effect does not stack with Dragon Kick.

Meh, was hoping for something better. Wonder if reprisal will stack with WAR's storm's path.

Well that seals it. WAR will always be in the party for SE and SP and DRK and PLD will have to fight for that other tank spot.
