Dark Knight where is my Identiy

[Shurrikhan]

No more MP. Hear me out.

Using Edge/Flood now reduces maximum HP, as well as losing any HP over the excess of your new HP total.

I think I get the concepts here well enough, but I've made the mistake of critiquing one of your ideas without having read carefully enough before, so I don't want to assume.

Could you give a little more insight into the playflow of this -- what it would actually feel like, or what the points of attention would be as you're working through its sort of rotation?

________________________

For now, though (apologies in advance):

At a gut feeling (likely errant), while I like that the maximum HP decreases make the punishment that much less avoidable, I dislike that it therefore diminishes healer interaction. Moreover, and this may by hypocritical, I feel that dropping to below typical non-tank maximum HP crosses a thematic threshold (or, feels less "tank-like") than dropping current HP to dangerous levels, even if the eHP ultimately still pans out towards the tankier. It just feels more like what I'd expect from a Reaper snap-tanking (if spurts of 1.x-style cross-role play were still a thing) more than a plate-armored knight wielding a giant sword.

Final probe: If Edge/Flood are to potentially remain 3s CDs, shouldn't Delirium instead reduce the cooldown on, say, Blood Weapon or TBN? Or is it meant to make Edge/Flood an every-GCD cast during some synergetic period?

Final nitpick: Please tell me the in-game term would not be a "pip" of Blood. I can't help but imagine a phlebotomist instead. Sorry, probably just a me thing. (Though I've little idea what else to call it... a "mote"? Idk.)
