4.05 - Tank DPS comparison

[SyzzleSpark]

Wait, so, does TBN mana cost double at 70? Cause, at least according to what it shows me on my 60 DRK (using mana costs appropriate for the level) TBN and DA cost the same, while SS restores the exact same amount as the cost of both DA and TBN. Or does SS just lose half of it's MP restore at 70?

Sounds like someone spends too much time in Grit.

Syphon only restores a DA's worth in Grit, out of Grit it is half. This entire discussion is about proc'ing extra Bloodspillers with TBN out of Grit. In Grit it is a gain and has always been because of Bloodspiller's Grit potency.

Theorycrafting on DRK in 4.0 has been a depressing affair. There's definitely losses and gains to be mathed out, but they're so tiny as to be insignificant, hence the feeling that the job is "braindead" and doesn't reward optimization.
