They’ll buff it when metrics hit an all time low and make all BDK refarm haste gear.
I like Sanlayn. The sound effect on Vamp Strike is chef’s kiss. Also, this tree just clicks with me, I find myself hitting Vamp Strike on auto pilot, I never need to see when it procs, I always just hit it right when it procs. It doesn’t get more smooth than that.
Also Sanlayn gives bonkers self healing and mitigation and bonus strength. Really enjoying it. It makes the BDK kit feel stronger, whereas Deathbringer is kinda just isolated to its self.
If you think of Sanlayn more as a cooldown enhancer tree, which it kinda is, it makes more sense, if you think of it as an active playstyle, then no, it’s not so great.

Man, swarming mist was awesome! Bring it back and keep that 1 min CD (or lower it to 45 secs) and we’d be living life! (Or unlife?)

I think the biggest issue is that it lacks runed carved plates which makes db more or less required.
Revisiting this after playing around with it more, I hate the upkeep on blood queen and vamp strike windows so much.
Honestly, I wish they would take gift out entirely and replace it with a capstone that gives on-demand damage like exterminate does. Using a defensive cooldown and having to fit as many vamp strikes into a window feels bad when you have other rotational abilities to manage, and it also makes death strike feel awkward to use as a means to fish for procs.
Literally just copy paste Vladimir from League of Legend’s toolkit and I would be happy
