Thread: What we could build from 5/6.0 Dark Knight

The idea of activating darkside is very interesting. It can be a gauge that you build up by using edge/flood and you can activate delirium(replace it with the old darkside animation or just rename it to darkside) once you reach a certain amount. It begins the countdown on darkside for a maximum of 30s and you get a buff to everything from changing certain gcds or added effects on abilities. Edge/flood can extend the duration of darkside up to the maximum if it wasn't when activated and you start building it up again for the next 30s. Living shadow can only be used when darkside is active and it's duration would be dependent on the duration of darkside and maybe having it mirror just our ogcds for a flat potency.

This would require adjustments to our mp as we won't be generating any darkside during our burst phase and spending too much mp during it would mean delaying the next. We would need to be able to generate enough mp in 30s to fill darkside and say it takes 2-3 edge/flood to do so. We can reduce the mp cost to 2000 and drastically reducing the potency so we can realistically generate enough and be less punishing if we save some mp during buff windows. Now spending too much mp would actually be something we keep in mind besides not having tbn. Maybe bloodspiller/quietus can help build up darkside or mp.
