About damage essences in Delubrum/Dalriada

[Vahlnir]

I had a Dalriada that was on the teeth of failing today on Diablo because of low essence usage, low DPS, and deaths. People actually left before the last fight probably knowing the low damage. So you can imagine if it weren't for a handful of people like me using damage essences and decent rotations, that would have been a fail.

I'd say the issue there was mostly the players themselves skill wise, not their essences or even the low dps. My last Dalriada run was filled to the brim with WHMs which, while they can do respectable dps with essences, weren't putting out large enough numbers to help things along in a timely fashion. As to whether they were all using essences I can't really say. I just know they were there. It was semi slow going, but it got finished. Dalriada is super forgiving.
