Dark Knight Blood Weapon

[MenmaEmiya]

Dear SE. Please do with Blood Weapon what you are doing with Bunshin. Make it give 5 stacks to get the gcds in instead of it being on a timer cause it feels like the timer on blood weapon is slightly shorter than 10 sec. This would help with people that may have latency and a great quality of life change!

that's... would be nice actually if they are going to stick with this TA slave desing, it would be nice if Delirium interact with blood weapon again somehow but god know i pray for his old iteraction return along with delirium.

the current iteration is fine for DRK. Its actually really good. But the fact that blood weapon is super bugged with its timer and since their goal is to get 5gcds in anyways, might as well make it to where we can get those gcds everytime regardless of ping

"It's not working right but it's fine! Stop complaining!"

Yes, that's the point of asking to make it just give n charges to guarantee those actions will get the BW bonuses. An incredible simple QoL that shouldn't take an entire expac to do like making your first blood gauge skill bloodspiller instead of quietus.

I also thought that would be the (only) real solution even before they announced the Bunshin change.
Get 5 stacks for ~15/20s duration before they expire.

That way, we'll finally be able to get 5 aoe spells into Blood weapon <-- WAR always gets 50 gauge with Infuriate, but DRK can't during aoe?
(I mean really? Has nobody in the SE design team thought that it just might be impossible to get 5 spell of 2.5s GCD into Blood weapon? Are they blind?)

Right now DRK just sucks because of bad it feels to play it... most of the feelings might be because of nostalgia, but Blood Weapon can only ever be good if it restores HP based on the amount of damage you dealt like the OG Bloodbath skill that DRK could cross class, and lasts 15 seconds... and that only fixes one of the many problems...

BW is not bugged but it works differently than Delirium/Inner Release. Del checks early, on client side, if you can use the skill so fitting all 5 is pretty easy but BW checks the mana regen with damage on server side so the check is waaaaay later and, with that, easier to mess up. I have very good ping and I mess that up way more often than I would like to.

I feel like the problem of that would be solved with giving it stacks instead of a timer. Kinda like atonement.

Really good idea and hope they do it. Current Blood Weapon is rough unless you have higher SS tiers.

Anything that reduces ping reliance, while also not buffing/nerfing a class is typically a good plan. You have my support.
