DRK changes from Prelim notes

[Xesh]

Many people here are missing the point of the plunge change. First of all, you will NOT dark arts more often than now. DA plunge is the same as DA syphon strike or soul eater, but instead of using it on one of those two it goes on the plunge. Same amount of dark arts.
Secondly, they didn't add this potency increase for the potency itself, but just to make up for the mp you lose on a a plunge dark arts for the enmity.
Tldr you have the same amount of dark arts with the same potency regarding plunge.
Dark passenger is a great change as well, although you still lose some damage compared to a dark arts due to slashing so I really only see DP being useful for 2 enemies or more or to get a bigger enmity boost when picking up adds.

you can JUMP on the enemy with a 340 potency attack with enmity bonus! that's awesome enough as a point \^^/

and you can use it every 30 seconds. i am curious what the enmity modifier is... Dark Arts > Unmend > Plunge > Hard Slash > Dark Passenger > Dropping Grit - who needs enmity combos anymore?

People without a static, friends, or an FC, like me. Better off with just using the new JOHN MADDEN Dark Arts POWER Slash and saving Plunge/Dark Passenger for raid buffs.
