I'm sorry, I think that I'm misunderstanding something about your post. Are you saying that you thought/think that capping blood and/or mp was...somehow..."fun"? Spending your mp/blood so that you didn't cap isn't being meta, it is literally one of the bare minimum requirements to play Drk! I'm not even talking about hardcore content either. How low you went or how much to spent at a time was being DPS mindful.

Heck, what's worse was that being DPS mindful with Drk in SB was a lesson in futility because the gains were so low. Just as an example, if you lined up exactly 5 GCDS in 10 sec trick attack window and AND DA on all of them then your total DPS gain was a total of 70 potency (140×10%×5) over just doing the same attacks without DA.
