I quit

But your single target MP regen doesn't rely solely on Blood Price. And as a whole, it's much faster to refill your MP now, especially if you're under Grit.

I think the word you are looking for is only in grit, not especially. Syphon strike out of grit restores exactly the same amount of mp in proportion to a dark arts as it did previously. 2 syphon strikes = 1 Dark Arts. Blood weapon was buffed slightly in terms of how many actions it takes to get a dark arts (it takes 2.5 physical actions less now), but on the other hand they removed two physical oGCDs and removed the ability for us to have two sources of mp regeneration ticking at the same time. However, we no longer lose mp standing around converting oxygen into carbon dioxide in battle so I guess we sorta have more mp?

word limit, I apparently have too much to say always.
