Internal Balance of Swordmaster normal balance abilities

Post#1 » Tue Jul 04, 2017 11:09 am

Swordmaster has:

Ensorcelled Blow: Spirit Damage, with tactic dot on tick (2nd highest tooltip, highest with tactic)
Graceful Strike: Physical Damage with dot (highest tooltip, but physical and applies hex)
Gryphon's Lash: Physical undefendable (lowest)

So the second two arent really worth using, in nearly all situations.

Ensorcelled: no change
Graceful Strike: Change dot duration to 10s but keep damage the same. Therefore this ability can mask your snare for purposes of cleanse
Gryphon's Lash: makes the NEXT ability you use undefendable. It opens up some tactical options that aren't too broken, and helps a s/b swordmaster to land abilities if hes not stacking strength. Maybe if you think its too overpowered limit the effect to next "improved stance" ability, preventing an unblockable perfect stance ability via sudden shift.

I believe these are good and balanced changes, the most powerful ability and build of sm remains unaffected. To be clear I'm not trying to be biased: I think wings of heaven needs a nerf, but thats another discussion.

Declining for not following the BDF format for proposals.
