DRK question: when to blood weapon?

[Ilan]

Depend the situation, if you go for big pulls, for example, on lvl 50 you must keep grit up for less dmg while the dps do their job after they kill some mobs drop grit, use Blood Weapon to recover MP, activate Dark Arts and Soul Eater Combo. Some friends in LS told me that, tried out and worked well. I usually go for the safe way when i PUG in DF and keep grit up when i go tank my dailies, just to take less dmg and let the healers have fun dpsing, but now if the healer is good ill start drop grit and dps after make sure i have a solid aggro. Anyways i started enjoy Drk a few months ago and topics like this are very useful.

Of cause you don't drop grit during big pulls because of the damage that you'll take and because it makes your life easier keeping hate, you don't even drop grit on level 60 at the beginning of a pull. I was refering to bosses because that is what savage is about. You say let the healer have fun dpsing, but a bad healer will never start dpsing and if he does, you'll die even with tank stance up because he gets carried away or missreads the whole situation. In general you should only drop your tank stance if you know what you are doing.

Your example from keeper of the lake was by the way one of the lolDRK who doesn't know how to play at all. You can't take this as an example for keeping grit up.
