Still though - you're a tank, so EHP > DPS if appropriate. If you're in a scenario where you're taking high inc damage and you feel a self-heal is more important than a DPS boost - then yeah obey that priority instead and just vanilla C&S - which will move DA'd SE's availability up 1 syphon combo
Hmm, over 2 cns, you get 2x150 and 1DA. Assuming you dont use that mp on another DA cns and use it on SE instead, you get (2x150) + 160 = 460 potency gain for near 0 mp vs 2 x (150+300) = 900 potency gain for 3600 mp. I want to say DA cns is the way to go but my cheapass nickel and diming brain keeps sending conflicting signals lol..

It's like seeing a meal being sold for 5 dollars and another meal twice the size of the 1st one being sold for 20 while knowing the bigger size meal is the one that would sate me and I'm only allowed to purchase one meal.
