A loss of -10 PPGCD.

150+250(+70)+280 = 750
750 / 3 = 250
400(-140) = 260
A gain of 10 PPGCD.

4.05:

150+250(+70)+300 = 770
770 / 3 = 256.6666666....
400(-140) = 260
A gain of ~4 PPGCD.

I believe this calculation is slightly off because its not taking into account the potential of losing a natural bloodspiller.

Even if I'm wrong with my estimating (I doubt it but soon I will have free time to break this down), these calculations assume every TBN breaks miss one and that small positive becomes a large negative that will require 300 TBN breaking to balance out. We are playing the odds here, maybe it won't being an infrequent event, but it is there. I believe taking this into account and using some ball parking bloodspiller would need a 5 to 10 potency buff to break even with dark arts.

The blood calculation is slightly more detailed, and wasn't necessary to show to loss previously.

Not to mention, pld isn't paying for its utility, its not risking its dps. SE took a step in the right direction, but it needs more.
