Thought experiment: DRK MP and Blood Separation

[Eyvhokan]

Any time you clip Bloodspiller to gain more Blood than with SoulEater, you're weighting less DPS for more Blood, which is already the problem of TBN, especially if Blood now only affect defensive skills.

Yes, it is so it's not truly completely separate. But this way it is not tied to an essential part of the kit with TBN, so is a very different way of sacrificing damage for mitigation.
