Where are you getting the mana for that?

Lets assume no blood price for now, and full grit/darkside.

in 60 seconds you get 8 full syphon combos.

Like people have previously said, you use 3 syphons for darkside.

You use 2 syphons to pay for dark passenger, which is more efficient than darkside.

This ends up with 3 syphons remaining. Of course you are still starting with a full mana pool, so in shorter fights you can use more, but even with blood price, starting from 0 or near 0 mp, you will only get 2 dark arts a minute, MAYBE 3.

And then at 60, I'm assuming you use 1 of those dark arts for carve.

So then you have 1-2 left. If you have to use any of those for a defensive, you're left with 0 or 1 DA a minute for souleater.

EDIT: also I'm confused on how salted earth works. Is it a one time hit? Is it a dot like shadowflare? Its confusing to me.
