A challenge to Naoki "Yoshi-P" Yoshida

[Chrono_Rising]

I get 4-5 off as you get enough Blood to use Queitus or Delirium. Once you have both then I have gotten up to 6 on a pack before but I will also weave in a syphon strike here or there.

Dark Knight certainly spams more than Warrior, I agree with this completely. However, if you look at steel cyclone it is 200 potency without a damage penalty, where as Dark Knight Abyssal Drain does have a damage penalty in tank stance.

AD has an effective potency of about 115 in tank stance.

SC has a base potency of 200, but with their 20% buff and 30% buff the effective potency for the AOE is cranked up to 312.

This means that SC is restoring 171% more HP than AD, being able to fill your beast guage to 100 and have infuriate means you can hit this three times while fully buffed. Though we might spam AD twice as often in ideal conditions, SC restores more than twice the amount of HP in its ideal conditions.

For the warrior those ideal conditions will also line up once a minute. For the dark knight those ideal conditions are going to line up every two minutes.

This is without touching Equilibrium, ToB, or hitting their combo for HP refills.

I tend to feel warrior has many more ways of restoring its hp in tank stance than dark knight both in AOE and ST situations.
