DRK Request - Please Remove the Grit Requirement for Souleater's HP Leech

[Praesul]

Extremely potent heal? Souleater is ass when it comes to healing. The amount of health you get back isn't even enough to make up for boss autoattacks, especially in difficult content. AND it takes 3 GCDs to even get the heal. Souleater heal is terrible, the heal is not the reason we use it, it just happens to be a small bonus on top of the damage.

In terms of healing it's only trumped by a Berserk buffed IB or Equal. So I'd say it's extremely potent, considering DRK doesn't revolve around self healing. It's problems are less to do with "why can't I heal an entire boss auto in my most used combo" and more "why is my job so poorly designed that I have a random near useless self heal tacked on to my most potent combo". Just for reference, if they just let you use SE's heal out of Grit as a 1:1 conversion, it would be a a 460 potency heal every 3 GCDs (7.5s). You could scale this down and give it to DRK out of Grit, but it'd only allow for a slightly higher chance of soloing some specific stuff and wouldn't really have any use otherwise, similar to Storm's Path healing component.

Also, just quickly, there is no "tug of war" with Abyssal Drain. You use Blood Price, you use defensive CDs, and you only use DA if you actually need to because otherwise you might as well use that MP on another Abyssal Drain.

If your HP and MP are increasing and decreasing constantly during the pull it kinda looks like a push and pull effect is going on down there. That said when you pair BP and AD together you pretty much are invincible for like 15 seconds or so provided you have a lot of enemies still wailing on you.

Even if I would rather go full DA DP+DD. Since I find that more fun.
