So what the general consensus on DA power slash? Has anyone done the math of how the enmity gain compares to the potency gain overall by not using? The thought process seems to be that, DA power slash generates more enmity which means less enmity combos needed overall, which means more time out of grit and more DPS combos can be used, correct? It seems horribly MP inefficient thought with such a small enmity gain despite using the same amount of MP as other dark arts abilities... I can't think of many situations where it'd be helpful other than being out of grit and using it for SNAP AGGRO (as in, you prep your power slash, an add pops up very soon that requires immediate attention so no turning on grit first before you grab it since you need to respond immediately).

It seems like no matter what it will still be an overall DPS loss no matter what way you look at it. I rarely ever use it myself, should I?

I used it sometimes when my mana was going to overflow and I had to use Power Slash to top up aggro. I guess you can say it falls under the situational category?

So what the general consensus on DA power slash?

It goes from 5.5x enmity to 6.5x enmity(11x to 13x in Grit) which is almost nothing. It's a waste of MP.
