#BringBackHeavenswardReprisal

[SyzzleSpark]

So I had an interesting idea that could maybe be tacked on to the OP, but I don't necessarily want to fix something that isn't broken. Nevertheless, here it is:

First off: 210 potency every 30s is a nice DPS boost, but as I pointed out in an earlier post here, I don't think it will actually take us off the bottom. Browsing through some old logs, Reprisal was about a 1.17% DPS gain. Assuming that it is a similar or slightly greater percentage (say a 2.17% boost...) it would still leave us weaker than PLD and of course WAR.

I think we can safely buff a reinstituted Reprisal to 300 potency without imbalancing anything. This puts it on par with Shield Swipe.

Additionally, and this shakes things up a bit, but I think to make the Blood Gauge more interesting, I propose some additional changes related to this one.

1. New Reprisal costs 20 BG.
2. TBN returns 30 BG instead of 50.
3. DP now also returns 30 BG, putting it at roughly the same Mana-to-potency efficiency as it was in 3.x without actually changing its current potency or MP cost.
4. Cut Delirium's recast to 60s, have it increase BW by 4s instead of 8s and BP by 8s instead of 16s.
5. Delirium, Bloodspiller, and Quietus now cost 25 BG instead of 50.

Feel free to dismantle/harshly critique these ideas. I'm tired and spinning my wheels, although I'm sure many DRKs can relate. Just trying to keep the juggernaut of discussion moving even if I have to get out and push.
