The Bottom Feeders: Moves You Never Use and Why.

[Februs]

DK only ever overrides and stays there because it provides 2 effects as opposed to Delirium's one effect. But if they ever made a change to make Delir and DK stack and give a 20% Int down wombo combo I'd be A ok with that.

This is kind of a side note, but how much use to you guys honestly get out of Delirium Blade?

Don't get me wrong here, I like the concept of reducing magic dmg (because after a long Pld career of getting abused by caster dmg it's nice to have some vengeance). I'm not trying to say it's bad or anything. I'm just honestly curious how often you guys get a benefit from it, because I typically go into a lot of Boss fights wondering if I even should apply the debuff because most boss attacks are physical. Using it on mobs is near useless (firstly because it's a single hit application once every ~8 seconds at the cost of enmity gen on a mob that will probably be dead in half that time), and boss use seems limited and at a trade off of dps.

Most commonly people tend to keep it up, using 2 Soul Eater combos for every 1 Delirium Blade, but if the boss uses primarily physical Dmg it would be more efficient to use 2 soul eaters for every 1 Power slash at a higher dmg potency and just ignore Delirium Blade. Not to mention that I sometimes get the "Delirium Blade- Has no effect" message, which I never understand, because I've seen it pop up on bosses that I know with certainty that I have used DB on before (sometimes within the same run. I remember having one group wipe a boss by accident. 1st run DB worked fine. 2nd Run it kept having "no effect." Was very confusing). Is it a glitch or are there certain conditions that prevent the application of DB? Because it makes me hesitant to even apply it if I'll be potentially wasting a rotation on a Debuff I won't even see a benefit out of.
