A Dark knight proposal moving forward. HW+newer skills

I really didn't feel like I was using Dark Arts as much as everyone memes. Yeah it could be a bit spammy inside the blood weapon window, but for the most part I thought it was fine.

What I really miss though is the AoE rotation, with all that lovely shield and heal. I do like GNB, and would probably still take it over SB DRK to trials and raids, but I really want my old DRK back for dungeons.

As much as I share your love for the MP-Blood engine of SB, I'll be blunt - it was way too good for dungeons. Between Blood Weapon / Price for MP + Blood, Delirium giving MP + buff extension for Blood, TBN giving shield + blood for MP and Quietus turning that Blood into MP again, Abyssal Drain as a spell, while incredibly satisfying to watch, was the piece that made dungeon DRK op to the point where the healer gets turned into another dps. Lifesteal on demand at cost of an easily replenishable resource (MP) was broken. The large pull between 1st and 2nd boss in Ghimlyt Dark I did with 1x Regen and a Benison, rest was my own sustain. And that was just one megapull among many.

Frankly, while fun, that was op beyond doubt.

Oh gawd, people cared about dungeons? >_>
