    Bringing back Dark Passenger as GCD combo starter that is followed up by Flood of Shadow which would then be followed up by Shadowbringer with step being Disesteem, with each step costing 1000-2000 MP and each step also heals you for 400 cure potency. We can also make Paladin's MP spending actions heal the whole party so that way they get something in terms of utility.

    Moving Scarlet Delirium combo to level 62 and having Bloodspiller grant a buff that makes it so you can use Scarlet Delirium combo on execution will help Dark Knight leveling a LOT. Same with moving Impalement to level 64 and have Quietus grant a buff that lets you use Impalement. Because it takes FOREVER to get a new GCD AFTER getting Quietus.

    At which level do you want Dark Passenger to be introduced?

    Same level that Flood of Darkness currently sits at, and I am also okay with having a button that lets me maintain Darkside during downtime and outside of combat as QoL change, and same with having Dark Arts a button to generate Dark Arts stacks, during downtime and outside of combat at level 30, while keeping the core idea of Dark Arts being used to bypass MP cost.

    As for Edge of Darkness/Shadow since it currently does the same thing as Flood of Darkness/Shadow but for single target, I would rework it to a single target MP spender burst combo, similar to my Dark Passenger idea, but have it combo into Bloodspiller(since my current suggestion for Bloodspiller is a temporary change for GCD rotation), then have Carve and Spit be the combo finisher. Same 1000-2000 MP cost, no shared recast timers, MAYBE have Dark Passenger combo and Edge of Shadow combos have 15-30 second recast timers, and have these combos generate Blood Gauge.

    I would also have Scarlet Delirium combo cost a minimum of 25(50 max if my proposed idea doesn't work out) Blood Gauge at level 62, and since Quietus would combo into Impalment at level 62, it would also cost the same as Scarlet Delirium combo, with the same proposed cost that also have 15-30 second recast timer that ISN'T shared, and have these combos restore HP and MP(same HP cure potency as the MP spenders).

    Abyssal Drain would go back onto the GCD and grants Plunge Ready, and make Plunge a target AoE GCD, no cost, just basic GCD timers...

    My goal is try and give Dark Knight SOME skill expression with resource management of some kind.
