5.0 Dark knight request: Delirium rework

[TouchandFeel]

snip

It's similar to Bloodfest in the way that you said, while not providing it through resources, it is still providing two usages of a gauge-spender skill. So not exactly the same but still pretty similar in practical usage. Not really important though, just my general feelings on how much it would feel different from other tanks.

While you point out that Power Slash has an explosion as part of its animation, it is quite small and as a whole doesn't really read as an AoE. It would really need to be something new that is visually impactful to read well and convey a sense of power and scale.
I'm still partial, and admittedly biased, to making it look like a "DRKed up" version of Cloud's Meteorain limit break, replacing the meteors with large orbs of dark energy. I called it Nightfall as an additional homage, since that is an ability used by the Dark Knight form of Cecil in Dissidia, and the name conceptually makes sense with the proposed animation.

I'm not sure that removing MP gain from Delerium would be a good idea, and I would personally prefer to keep it and maybe just tweak the MP values to fit the altered Deleirum. If the MP were removed from Delirium, I would definitely like to see the MP gain from Carve and Spit increased and/or the recast reduced.

Oh, and just for some general clarification. While I am calling it a "Confiteor-like" ability, it would not need to work exactly the same as Confiteor since the duration of Delirium with the proposed changes would be so short that the whole "ends the effect of ..." aspect would be pointless. It could really just be an ability that can only be used under the effect of Delirium and just has a recast of like 10s or whatever so that it could only be used once during Delirium but would still be back up for the next one.
