What is Carve and Spit for?

[Kaedan]

It regens the same mp as Syphon Strike or does a crapload of damage off GCD. There is literally nothing to complain about C&S.

That's purely subjective.

That's purely subjective.

No, it's really not.

We get a skill that is off GCD that can either: A) restore MP (something useful and beneficial to us for MP management), or B) Do a large amount of damage (useful when you don't need to regen MP, free extra damage)

Objectively, there is nothing at all to complain about C&S.

I see what you're saying but for THE lvl 60 skill, its nothing special... Come on lets be real. Yes you get some mp back or do dmg but its nothing spectacular being the last ability

Look at it this way

The level 60 skill could have been:

Reduce damage taken by 3% and restores 3% health and mana, off the GCD, 1min CD

Would there be nothing to complain about? Of course not, the skill is off the GCD and gives you health mana and damage reduction everything a tank wants!

But being the level 60 skill? That is completely unacceptable since even though its benifical in everyway...its still boring and pretty much inconcequental.

Extreme example but that is what people are saying here. CS is useful and the burst hit is cool and all...just not something really awe inspiring for a level 60 skill.

I mean at least make it regen more MP than Syphon Strike...maybe half the MP of syphon strike for each of the 3 hits?

^ My thoughts exactly.

That's purely subjective.

it has utility when it isn't buffed, and our most powerful move when it is.

the only thing that could improve it is a marginal potency increased to the unbuffed version. otherwise it's fine.

I'd rather have another defensive CD

Its not worth a lot of use because you need dark arts to boost its damage but you need to be out of darkside to get mp back but you dont get mp back if your in darkside and you still need dark arts to boost its damage but you need to be in darkside to use dark arts and still dont get mp back and if your useing dark arts which eats up over 1k mp to boost a move that gives back mp.


Its not worth it I still want another defensive CD.

I'm sorry, but what are you smoking here?

You can use C&S to get MP back while being in Darkside. Darkside doesn't prevent you from regaining MP via Blood Price, Syphon Strike, and Carve and Spit. You regain MP from all those skills while in Darkside. The only time you ever have to change anything to regain MP is to use Blood Weapon, and that has nothing to do with Darkside. You can't have Grit active to use Blood Weapon.

EDIT: Oh, and Mage Ballad doesn't work on us with Darkside up.
