Ask a Warrior Thread.

someone, somewhere (I don't remember) actually calculated out warrior elixirs to be cheaper than using blood, what with the mp cost and -HP it causes. Then Fiel calculated ciders to be even more cost effective if u have the use slots to carry enough around.

Whether using 12att pots is ACTUALLY cheaper than blood I'm not sure and dont really care to crunch the numbers but the saved SP from no blood and the no hassle of pots never getting dispelled appeals to me. We have enough buffs to cast when we get dispelled (stance, MW, booster, HB) and casting blood would just be that much more of a nuisance.

I'd go without Dragon Blood as carrying a stackful of 12att pots has never proven to be a burden for me. And if that puts you having too much SP to not know what to do with it, put blood to 3 (crash prereq) and use the remaining for crash lol. It has its rare/fun uses (cwkpq warrior boss comes to mind). That is if you're absolutely set on not getting spear fury. Maxing ER is something every DK should do. Far more useful than some of the DK skills
