(DRK) How often should I be dropping Grit for Blood Weapon?

[Misha_Tameshigiri]

Don't. The net MP gain is very minimal. Blood Weapon might gain you 2,000 MP.... but Grit costs 1300 to put back on.
Don't do it for the MP, but if you need the extra DPS it might be worth it.

against most dps, 2-3 da'd power slashes will be enough for the whole fight.

grit is something you have to treat with care op. you drop grit when you know a big hit isn't coming, and your healers won't panic.

the problem is when you stance dance constantly with it (which is something that grit just doesn't allow). your also forgetting the ss increase and the constant syphon strike spam, along with c&s, plunge, and low blow (reprisal too when mt) (overall it can top off your mp quite fast when combined)


otherwise as others have said, drop grit for the damage, not the mp regen granted by blood weapon.
