A detailed Reaction to Warrior in SB

[Falar]

If it was OGCD, it wouldn't probably be weaker than it is now.

Which would be stupid. Considering it will only be used every so often due to the gage requirements it needs to be considerably stronger than Abyssal Drain.

Kind of like how Bloodspiller is way above the other single target attacks (it should also be oGCD, to avoid cutting into globals for SS and SE which build resources) assuming you are in grit, anyway.

It seems that's how a lot of these new "gage moves" work---you get a ST, and AoE. Now that I have leveled Ninja I like what they did there as you get a ST spender and an AoE spender, both stronger than your other options by a good margin and oGCD.

At the absolute worst case scenario (Assuming you build a comfortable threat lead) you get 50 gauge per 15 GCDs, or about 37.5 seconds.

Using a comparable oGCD from a tank (Circle of Scorn, 100 + 150 Dot, 30 seconds), this would make Quietus and even DA Quietus seem weaker as an OGCD at 160/210.

Except Dark Knights generate a fair amount of gauge at rapid intervals depending on the situation. Between Blood Price, Blackest Knight, and Blood Weapon, Quietus can be fired off fairly rapidly (Not to mention two 'charges' effectively held at the ready). The real interval between its use starting from 0 is probably closer to 10-15 seconds, and can be as frequent as every 5 (though this requires large packs and dropping grit for Blood Weapon)

Making it an OGCD would necessitate making it much weaker than even DA Dark Passenger to keep it in line, unless you add a comparable cooldown.
