From Faeries to Doom, transitioning from SCH to DRK [help]

Keep Mercy and drop Foresight IMO. If only because getting a stacked Sole Survivor with Mercy will be a nice 40% and 20% heal to HP and MP.

Definitely put Provoke under first CC slot.

Keep Mercy and drop Foresight IMO.

If you must take Mercy, keep Foresight and swap it for Awareness. The latter is situational but Foresight is a pretty decent cooldown at current gear levels - it is reliable, and without it, you're strapped for physical mitigation options.

I did the math on this once, I can't remember where, but Mercy Stroke, over the course of a boss fight anyway, is roughly the equivalent of a 13 potency attack every 30s, without buffs (of which DRK has none save for a pot). So make of that what you will OP.
