Tanking, Dark Arts, and Souleater?

[Giantbane]

Use dark arts on souleater whenever you have the mp to spare, otherwise spam delirium once you get it (power slash for now)

As gangaloo stated, it's better to use the soul eater combo (with or without DA) than to use power slash when you don't need to worry about threat. The reason being that more MP means more DA + Soul eater.

Compare 2 power slash combos:

(150 + 220 + 300) x 2 = 1340

vs. 2 SE combos:

(150 + 250 + 240) x 2 = 1280

however, doing the SE combo twice regens exactly enough MP to use DA once. Power slash gives you no MP. So by using siphon twice, you now have enough MP to use DA + SE for that second combo. This brings 2 SE combos to:

150 + 250 + 240 + 150 + 250 + 400 = 1440.

which makes it the clear winner.

Anyhow, basically:

ALWAYS ALWAYS DA Soul Eater on a single target when Dark Passenger and CaS are not available. When you get Delirium Blade, you will use that combo when you don't have enough MP for DA. Use Power Slash as little as you possibly can.
