    Syphon Strike gives you half the amount you need for Dark Arts, so people add 70 potency has opportunity cost. So, a full powered SE combo deals 150+390+70+420 = 1030 potency over 3 GCD...so 343 pot/GCD with 4800 MP spent.

    Basic Bloodspiller is 380 on its own...so it's better on average than you double Dark Artsed SE combo.

    With Grit, SS gives you one Dark Arts, so 140 opportunity potency, increasing the total potency at 150+390+140+420 = 1100 so 336 pot/GCD...again, BloodSpiller tops at 380 even before considering the impact of Grit.

    BloodSpiller is definitely a DPS gain.

    I will give you that, but it still doesn't seem to be as good as Scourge was.

    I am super tired of people who are unhappy with a part of the game and take the passive aggressive approach and, for example, '...post on the forums and hope SE sees it and does something'.......or 'plays another class'. You people are NOT helping solve anything.

    If you want to fix something, launch a trouble ticket.......get it in the system.

    Trouble tickets get LOGGED and it's REAL data that shows up in their systems and numbers - it goes to managers and can be presented at meetings. THAT's where change will stem. Things like posting displeasure on a forum is NOT going to show up in any company's meeting and have any tangible punch to it. You leaving to play another class isn't go to show up in their meeting topics either.

    Don't be passive aggressive and expect changes to 'magically appear' - be part of the solution and initiate change where you can actually make a difference.

    LOG A TICKET.
