TBN vs DA (analysis and discussion)

[Rathael]

When Off-tanking I view TBN as a tool of convenience, assuming there is no significant loss in potency. It's an instant on-demand 50 blood when used correctly. This means you can set up Blood weapon + delirium immediately on-demand. Using it this way means more blood weapon time since you spend less time delaying blood weapon to ensure you get enough blood for Delirium before blood weapon falls off. Unless you have some perfect convoluted method of always ensuring you have 50 blood when you activate Blood Weapon, I would say this compensates for any insignificant loss in potency by using TBN.

You shouldnt be delaying bloodweapon regardless of tbn usage. You can safely generate enough blood to trigger delirium without tbn. Since delerium has a high cool down i highly doubt you are going to squeeze one more into a fight by using it on cooldown but bloodweapon recast is much smaller meaning using it on cooldown is important to make sure you are getting as many into a fight as you can. I cant prove your claim otherwise but my gut says using tbn to proc delirium faster isnt really changing anything unless you manage to somehow squeeze another one into the fight by utilizing tbn to use it on cooldown.

I can see it being an issue if you dumped a bloodspiller during a transition, but not really beyond that. Generally speaking, it's pretty easy to set up your delirium windows as far as blood is concerned.
