#BringBackHeavenswardReprisal

[WhyAmIHere]

1. New Reprisal costs 20 BG.
2. TBN returns 25 BG instead of 50.
3. 25 BG taken from TBN is given to DP, putting it at roughly the same Mana-to-potency efficiency as it was in 3.x without actually changing its current potency or MP cost.
4. Cut Delirium's recast to 60s, have it increase BW by 4s instead of 8s and BP by 8s instead of 16s.
5. Delirium, Bloodspiller, and Quietus now cost 30 BG instead of 50.

Feel free to dismantle/harshly critique these ideas. I'm tired and spinning my wheels, although I'm sure many DRKs can relate.

as far as #3, are you suggesting that DP cost MP, but also drain blood to use it? the wording confuses me a tad.
in the same vein as (this should be its own thread as well, really, dealing with the new DRK blood gauge) #5, why not just give delirium an added "cost to use blood-using skills is reduced by half for 5 seconds," and make the BW/BP extensions 5/10s respectively?

It's suggesting DP grants 25 blood (taken from TBN going from 50 -> 25)

I musta quoted/responded faster than they could edit. =P

I tweaked the numbers slightly since my original post, but the effect is pretty much the same. Anyway...

3. DP now also returns 30 BG

i.e. you pay 2400 mana, get 100 potency, and also 30 BG.

Because 50 gauge is honestly too much for attacks that are nowhere near the PPGCD gain of, say, Fell Cleave. Nowhere near as much of our total potency per second is invested in Bloodspiller as it is something like FC for WAR. So yeah. I think 50 gauge is too much. I don't really think it should be 50 gauge period, Delirium or not, and I didn't want to make it a carbon-copy of Inner Release. That being said, the "how" is a matter of opinion and your suggestion works equally well.

As for the BP/BW extentions, I cut the recast exactly in half, and so in turn I cut the effects exactly in half.
