I used to think like that. /wry

Here's how it goes:

Each time you battle, a fixed mount of AS+DS is deducted. Let's call this x.

If your AS and DS are equal, then the same amount is deducted from each side, i.e. 0.5x deducted from AS, 0.5x deducted from DS.

If your AS:DS is 1:2, the amount of spirit deducted from each side is proportional to your AS:DS ratio. Hence twice as much DS would be deducted as compared to AS, but the total amount remains the same. i.e. 0.333333333x (aka x/3) from AS, 0.666666667x (aka 2x/3) from DS. Total amount deducted is still x spirit.

Since 1 AS and 2 DS recovers every minute, your AS and DS recovery will be synchronised and you won't need to wait around for one side to recover while the other side is overflowing.


 * note: while ratios close to 1:2 such as 1.5:2 will also reduce your recovery time, although to a smaller extent, ratios exceeding 1:2 eg. 2:1 would slow it down again. Optimal ratio is 1:2, otherwise as close to it as possible without DS exceeding twice of AS.
