One change for DRK: Darkside increases attack speed instead of damage

[Reynhart]

Living Shadow ? oGCD, 50 Blood Cost.

Yes, build 50, spend 50 on Living Shadow.

If you just build 50 and spend 50, you're gonna end up badly delaying LS, especially when it ligns up with Delirium which delays your Blood generation by 5 GCDs.

LS and Del lign up once every 6 minutes, and for every LS+Del, you have BW available to quickly rebuild any blood you need.

It is more to do than WAR.

WAR has to make sure to not use Inner Release at a bad moment, or he'll lose Storm's Eye, also to not use Infuriate during Inner Release, but to have it far enough in its CD so that it can recharge it without waste during the Fell Cleave spam, while still using Upheaval on CD, IR or not. Also Nascent Flash is better aligned with a burst window, so that your target can take full benefit from it.

I took these examples to prove that having less combos doesn't mean a job is less busy or has less things to do. To prove that there are other ways to make jobs interesting and busy than just giving them extra combo finishers.

But DRK isn't busy. On top of having only one combo, it doesn't have any actual management to do with its main damage buff nor its ressources, and no synergy between skills. And I was suggesting a new finisher because it's an easy "fix". But sure, you could give it another MP spender, so that you'd actually have to judge if you risk losing Darkside, or reducing either the MP gain or the duration, so that refreshing it too soon would be a bad decision...

Which is just using Upheaval on CD since it automatically ligns up. No thought process involved.

Ok, so, basically, the only management you mentionned (Del+LS) always ligns up with BW to compensate for misspending blood, but you use "ligning up" as a way to dismiss any actual management ?
