[mSH] Removal of damage from squig leap (collateral damage from WL burst nerf) feels awful

[Sundowner]

I'll ask you the same question, why is it that important?
You have several other tools to dismount with, yea sure pounce/leap/shadow step could be more accurate maybe, but why if you get within 65 ft of a WL/mSH in a disadvantageous position are you 100% supposed to die?
The ability is a mobility tool, not a initiation tool.
The only other similar abilitis is shadow step a 20 sec cd that does 0 dmg and buffs defenses, but it's also located at the top of the path of assault and wings of heaven a M2.

The damage was just to troll people with loner spec and pounce them to death in 1vs1

Then maybe every first attack of each class shouldn't take any offense because, to quote, you shouldn't die

One pounce = you close the gap, you can keep pouncing with no cooldown, and keep trying to dismounting, no other career has anything similar, ranged sure has access to dismounting tools but instant dots e.g. have a lower chance to dismount.

How is that even argument against pounce dmg? many classes have unique tools, pounce without cd in loner spec is WLs. pounce dmg was removed because pets were buffed, adding pounce/leap damage when using loner or equivalent should fix this issue.

Because you can keep on pouncing until you get the dismount, I.E it's a 100% guaranteed dismount.
Imagine if Terrible Embrace/Fetch had a 0 sec cd, no channel and did damage to dismount people, you would pretty much be dead if a mara got in pull range.
Yes different careers have different tools, but no tool does everything.
Pounce/Leap is a positional tool that leaps you toward any enemy and gives you a 35% movement speed buff, that's enough for a 5 point mastery point, because it's still so good you pick it up.
