Dark Knight Megathread

Not that I don't like this idea, I do actually, I just don't think this part is necessarily true. Someone smarter than myself did the math and in a 10 minute fight, assuming every TBN breaks and gives you Edge of Shadow and you use it at every available moment, you have 12 minutes worth of Darkside that's overcapped and therefor wasted. Mind you when I say overcapped I mean it's only counting what you didn't use. So if you have 45 seconds on Darkside and use your MP to get more, it's only counting the 15 seconds you wasted. Darkside has more wasted time than it does uptime. In conclusion, you have way more MP generation than you need already. In the context of current DRK, wasted Darkside means spent MP, and MP is something we only barely have to manage anyway since we have 3 sources. Delirium, blood weapon, and Syphon Strike. 4 if you use Ethers.

That being said, lowering MP costs across the board would allow you to use these hypothetical spells more frequently and since it's calculated use of the spells, it doesn't feel noisy but rather intelligently.

My apologies maybe I didn't expose my Desing properly, by increasing the MP generation and by result increasing the amount of Flood-Edge-AD uses is to spread the MP consumption across the entire rotation and not having it over confinated in the compacted burst window we have now, resulting on giving DRK a more interesting interplay Wich consist on exclusive to soul eater combo spam and a ocasional Bloodspiller right now between his burst, the burst can rely on the rest of the skills of his kit on the 60s mark instead.
So the point is end with the massive amount of overcaped Darkside time by adding the choice of spend your resources on more damage spells that don't generate Darkside time but offer more potency per use, and when your Darkside time is below 30s you can use Flood to add more, no more surplus.
