The Definitive Dark Knight Guide

[Miyuyu]

Is there any wait time between the first and second dark arts in your opener? (IE: do you have to hold Syphon Strike)

Servers are down so I can't really check myself, hadn't considered moving Dark Arts up that early. The other concern I have with using dark arts twice in one combo is mostly just mana. You'd probably put yourself in a hole faster than you need to (but with BP that might be irrelevant)

I also don't know if I agree with using a Soul Eater combo out of the gate. I run with some pretty strong DPS and not starting with a Power Slash combo means the boss is gonna be all over the world. I do agree with putting salted earth down last in the rotation (or before you even pull, really. Just depends.)

(Also, honestly, Unmend --> Plunge isn't bad, and you doesn't necessarily need to "open" with plunge. A lot of times I'll unmend for snap threat and immediately scourge before going into PS combo followed by full on DPS while weaving plunge in elsewhere)
