Why is it so needlessly complex to AoE as DRK?


Back then you could use blood price in a large pull and spam abyssal drain for the entire duration of those 15 seconds. Was that too OP?

Now, we have to spend MP to gain blood via TBN. Then we use that blood to get more MP either through quietus or delirium.
the MP regen on BP is so poor I find myself staring at my blood gauge instead so I can use quietus instead. That mana is quickly spent because my shadow wall doesn't last long enough and find myself gasping for the HP bonus from DA'ing abyssal drain, which is not cheap by a long shot.

But even then the "spam" is short lived because quietus can only recover so much.

HW DRK was simple to dungeon with. SB DRK is rocket science by comparison. This isn't even diving into the added layer of complexity of quietus' interaction with blood weapon, which I myself still haven't figured out how to employ on a practical basis.
