There's still a /slight/ chance of death and you could just as easily use Fatal Blow after Chains when you're out of Dark Sight if there is a delay on it. I'm not sure if it'd work but a DS>Chains macro could be interesting. The difference in DPM wouldn't be too big if you just alternated DS+Chains > Fatal > DS+Chains > Fatal instead of trying to spam Chains anyway. I don't think it's worth spending 20 SP to find out and then have to spend loads of NX trying to reset it back out again.
Just going to play devil's advocate here, even if the damage difference between chains -> chains and chains -> fatal blow is small, you can't get that small boost in damage anywhere else, and chains of hell is better than fatal blow not only in damage but its massive invincibility and uninterrupted knockbacks on mobile bosses, similar to aran attacks. Also, the 20 SP isn't very important, it's basically 20 nimble body and 15 endure versus 15 nimble body and 20 advanced dark sight. It's easy not to die with it because chains of hell gives you almost a full second of invincibility after it finishes in addition to the invincibility it already has during the attack, so if you happen to stay in dark sight, you can use chains again, or if you leave dark sight, you have plenty of time to use a potion.
There's an issue with SP resetting advanced dark sight because if you decide you don't want it anymore, it's impossible to reset it because there's nowhere for the SP to go, and if you didn't get it and want it later, you'll lose owl dead along with the nx you have to pay. Hopefully someone who plays kMS can tell us what kMSers think.
