I can understand why people think they are similar though. And I see your point now for gcds; Bloodspiller is def similar to Fell Cleave, and always has been. 80% in gcd, agreed.

You can say it works like Shinten, but honestly, I don't think so. I know Darkside is a meme now, but obviously, you do care about keeping it up. It's easy, but EoS adds another layer of something to care about other than "I dont want capped mana."

Nothing to say about Bloodweapon, 'cause it's always been thay way since Stormblood, except slower now. I agree, old blood weapon was a lot more fun.

Living shadow is one and done, I get you. But even so, it is another period of burst damage coming from Drk. I feel like this will still separate War and Drk, because War has Nascent Chaos and Inner Release, and Drk has Delirium and Living Shadow. Functionally, only 1 of these burst mechanics work the the same.

And of course, there are more than just attack functions that work for core mechanics for tanks. One of Dark Knights core mechanics in mitigation is TBN, which is completely unique to them. Although, it is basically functionally a counter.
