New lv 60 Dark Knight rotation for single target

[BlackironTarkus]

DA C&S when up, Salted when up, Plunge when up.
In Grit:
1,2,DA3 repeat

Out of Grit:
1,2,DA3,1,2,3 repeat
Sprinkle extra DA2's and 3's with blood weapon MP.

replace 1,2,DA3 with 1,2,3 +DA+C&S when C&S is up.

I wish I were kidding.

No mana drain means no looking at how much MP you have unless banking for an add phase. Syphon now returns a DA in mp while in grit.

Blood Price is returning 88 mp per hit. Just under 5% of a Dark Arts per hit. Forgive me for not factoring that in.

At level 70 this is what's added:

50 Blood + blood price/weapon & delirium off CD:
1, DA2, DA3, 1 + Blood Price/weapon+Delirum, 2, DA3. Make sure you have at least 4800 mp.

50 Blood + Delirium on CD:
1,2,3,DA Bloodspiller

If you're in grit, don't DA bloodspiller. You want the extra HP from souleater over a minor boost to Crit & Direct Hit liking larger base values seeing as our CD situation is what it is.

Use The Blackest Night whenever you think you might be able to break the shield if you wanna help your raid at a minor cost to yourself (10 potency or whatnot). If it doesn't break, it did practically nothing.

I know there's nuance like lining up Delirium and blood price CD's, etc etc but I mean really.

What the hell.

Syphom Strike gives 884 mp, it's 50% of DA mp. In grit it gives 1768 mp, it's 100% DA mp.

Since we can DA SS, maybe we can see some combos while in grit:
HS>SS = 200p/GCD = 50% of DA mp/GCD which is 70p = 200p+70p = 270p/GCD
HS>DASS = 270 p/GCD = 50% of DA mp/GCD which is 70p = 270p+70p = 340p/GCD

HS>SS>SE = 226,66p/GCD = 33,33% of DA mp/GCD which is 46,67p =226,66p+46,67p = 273,33p/GCD
HS>DASS>SE or HS>SS>DASE = 273,33 p/GCD = 33,33% of DA mp/GCD which is 46,67p =273,33p+46,67p = 320p/GCD
HS>DASS>DASE = 320 p/GCD = 33,33% of DA mp/GCD which is 46,67p = 320p+46,67p = 366,67p/GCD

So the best GCD combo for specific situations while in grit:
Burst = HS>DASS>DASE = 366,67p/GCD
Normal rotation with 1 DA = HS>DASS = 340p/GCD
Normal rotation without any DA = HS>SS>SE = 273,66/GCD

Going for HS>DASS is better than HS>DASS>SE or HS>SS>DASE.

ive found on bosses, if im full mp then i use blood weapon - dark arts EVERYTHING (except ofc dark passenger). extra mp and blood when using C&S and plunge under blood weapon. when mp is nearly out, swap back to grit for 3 souleater combos with no DA, using blood price. after those 3 my mp is basically full so its back to blood weapon and DASS + DASE

[Falar]

Wow, they ruined BP.

I am DA everything, including SS. Booooooringggg

[Nova_Leon]

This does not look good. I didn't main dark to play like this

[Dalmacus]

So does that mean DRK plays like crap now? I can't even get past my lvl 60 DRK the lost of scourge, low blow and mercy stroke is hard to adapt lol

[Xenosan]

Going for HS>DASS is better than HS>DASS>SE or HS>SS>DASE.

Wow if this is truly the case. I don't think SE would have intended for this to be how we proceed, but.. huh. Gotta test this when parser is up.

..but passing up Blackblood doing this btw, and there's always enough MP to DASE now
