Did you really get a lot more to break up the monotony of using SE combo, though? Dark Arts didn't do that, it just made SE combo hit harder. Blood Weapon didn't do that, it just made SE combo hit faster. Delirium, for all its underwhelming qualities, at least let's you not Souleater spam. Abyssal Drain now has use outside of trash pulls. Plunge has 2 charges so that's another button you oGCD to press. Can't forget about Living Shadow, which is a sexy move.

What I mean by "you can spam EoS" is that you CAN. You dont want to, just like you didnt want to press Dark Arts at literally every moment you could. Naturally it's not as easy to EoS as it was to Dark Arts for the simple fact that it's way stronger.
