Dark Knight Megathread

Now you could always have Bloodspiller initiate a combo, which would change up the Delirium window as well.

My first concern in adding a second step to Bloodspiller would be our Blood generation over time.

Hmm. In theory you could sidestep this by having the second combo step instead be an oGCD -- something like "Bloodspiller causes your next Edge of Darkness to change to a more powerful ability" similar to Continuation, and the same for Quietus with Flood.
Plus you can dip into the "Darkside management" discussion by having them compete for MP over time, the more powerful versions not giving Darkside at all. And with it consuming MP, it would jam a crowbar into the discussion of just copying Continuation outright.

Of course the main complications from that are how it would fundamentally change the relationship to MP, particularly in burst. Delirium gives 3 Bloodspillers in a row and refunds 600MP, so a 9000MP cost for a Delirum window would more than negate its MP restoration benefit. You could sidestep this by having Delirium temporarily negate the MP cost of such a skill though, I suppose, and perhaps have the upgraded skill have a lower MP cost overall (say 1000-1500MP)?

How that affects Dark Arts being entirely up to taste.

(All the same, it would put us back at Square 1 for adjusting our downtime between bursts, and make weaving even trickier during burst.)
