3.2 PvP: Feast Game Mode Discussion Thread.

Right? I might actually dust off my Drk now.

As for the Dark Arts adjustment, it shouldn't be too bad in PvP, as the amount of Mp drained by darkside in PvP settings is at a reduced rate. The part that confuses me is that it is also being changed for PvE. Given that Mp reduction is at the normal rate in PvE settings, and there have been no buffs (that I know of) to Drk's ability to regain Mp, it seems strange that they'd also decrease it's CD in PvE ... unless there are more non-PvP related changes that we just don't know about yet.

Well, it does make things a little less clunky. As often as we pop that for certain things anyway, it's nice to have to wait less time between a DASE, and a DACaS.

Yeah I imagine you can successfully chain DASE into DACnS from Syphon Strike in less time.

That's true, and it would make your PvP burst much more frequent and readily accessible ... but in PvE I can picture this flat lining our Mp bars a lot faster. Right now, DA is used at pretty specific times in the rotation for the very purpose of Mp management. I can't imagine the frequency of it's use will change at all even if the CD has been reduced, because to use it more often than we already do would be voluntarily going bankrupt on our Mp.

I guess we can consider it to be more of a Quality of Life adjustment for PvE, though, kinda like the way they changed Oath Swapping on Pld. Like that change, it won't make any difference to our rotation or dps, but if we find ourselves in a position where we need to pop an extra DA it will be nice that we can.
