Hey all,

Being a newbie in FFXIV and maining a DRK, I wanted to know how experienced DRKers feel about the blood gauge and how to use it efficiently.

In general I think capping resources are bad but I find myself not using the gauge often. What is actually the use of the blood gauge currently?

I mainly use the gauge for delirium to extend blood weapon, but thats only once every 2 minutes, in between I feel like I have too much blood that has nowhere to go. Quietus only fits into the mass pull dungeon situation so its useless 90% of the time and I'm not sure if Bloodspiller provides enough gain when you need to use half your MP to make it good (TBN+DABS).

With the way DA can be used MP will always be in shortage even with BW because you can DA for C&S and SS, should I still be using DABS when I have 100 blood?

I find it very clunky to try to not cap on blood (100) but still make sure I save enough blood to use Delirium and at the same not to make sure if TBN pops I will have less than 50 Blood so that it doesn't go to waste.

Any tips will be appreciated thanks!
