DRK changes from Prelim notes

[Deathgiver]

As for IB, my point of view is that the skill should have the same potency as Fell Cleave, but should suffer from Defiance damage penalty. This way, if you're forced to use it by itself, you wouldn't lose that much DPS, and if you pair it with Unchained, you'd only lose the Deliverance buff. And the same would be applied to Steel Cyclone.

That would be beyond over-tuned. At maximum (tanks topped up in deliverance going into ir window) ir+uc would be a 2.4% dps loss, in exchange for +20% max hp (would be full due to next point), somewhere north of 80k healing + access to the heal from equilibrium and -20% damage for 16 seconds AND over 8k potency worth of extra hate. If the tank is sub 60% going into ir in deliverance it would actually be a dps gain to swap into defiance since your self heals from ib would give you a full potency upheaval.
