Trying to understand the complaints about DRK

[Shurrikhan]

Apologies for the late response. DP worked in HW because it was not only a ST dps gain, it was mana efficient, it was 150 potency for half the cost of a DA without having to DA it. Now it has been rendered situational due to the fact it costs the same as a DA but does not have the same potency gain as a DA.

What? It's identical potency for identical cost, but also has an enmity modifier (which therefore amounts to higher relative value when MTing). It's one of the best rotational spender uses for DA... CnS, DP, and Plunge should all be DA'd, and if ever PS is used, it should also be DA'ed. Quietus at 3+ targets should be DAed. The only lackluster ones are actually SS, SE, and BS.
