    For reference, I am at level 60, 2 ADs is 1944 MP. DP is 1768 MP and so is DA. So I can spend 3536 MP to do the damage output of 1944 MP. Now if I am lucky the targets can be hit with blind, which is so so defense as mobs start to miss a little more often, but not often enough to make up the rest of the cost.

    Also while AD does not have as large of an enmity modifier its AoE design is better suited for when you drag the pack to one side of you. Allowing you to aim for the center of the pack and hit everything, instead of unleash only hitting half of the pack if its a really big pack.

    You forget that Blood Price MP regen is garbage anyway as of 4.0... so DA+AD is not worth using 3 times or more in a row now...

    Which is why they added in Quietus giving MP return, like what 5% per mob hit, granted that does not help at my level at all.

    Seriously why the hell did they have to nerf blood price?

    This is what I see posted, but I've seen nothing from SE to that effect.

    1st, I don't see why "speed running" would be a negative. When you are running a dungeon for the 100th time (for Anima grind or whatever) why would you want to take an eternity? This is why I always "speed ran".

    2nd, I can run the current dungeons plenty fast.
