Goodbye Stormsurge.
Relic+2 gives a ~20% chance per merit (so 100% with 5/5) of these Stratagems costing one charge currently. After this they can presumably be free of charge. I'll take -50 enmity for free over 7INT any day.
Relic+2 is fairly recent and these Stratagems costing 1 charge is one of the oldest and most frequently suggested adjustment around. I highly doubt they'd implement Relic+2 as a means of making these cost 1 charge and then turn around the next update and decide to drop them down to 1 charge anyway; they'd have just made the Relic+2 enhancement -2 enmity per merit like the rest.
Granted this is SE, but unless a community rep pops in and says they're changing the Relic+2 I doubt they will. This wouldn't be the first time SE ends up doing a follow-up update after doing something like this in any case, considering it's 100% related they would put the Relic+2 adjustment in this note as well.
It's not like they'll cost no Stratagems at all either, going 5/5 is the only way that would be accomplished and I doubt many people will do that and you certainly can't do it for all of them. It would finally make these merits useful and worth some contemplation though.
Lol @ the EV SCH ability pic Raksha. I haven't had that happen yet, but knowing my luck with my LS's events wanting me SCH for VW, it's bound to happen.
Then I'll probably rage or something as it constantly whiffs. ^^
I had all 4 of these stratagems merited, but with 2 charges I just couldn't really justify using them much. Admitedly I never looked into the AF2+2 augments - simply because the first thing I think of is Stormsurge (my only 5/5 merit).
Speaking of AF2+2 augments, does the one with Enlightenment make it work the way it's "supposed" to? That's the only possible "enhancement" I can think of. Suppose I could log on test server and find out myself.

You can have your -50 Enmity for free! I'll take my mini-elemental seal focalization on all nukes for free $.$!
Wow I can't believe they are actually doing this. We've been asking for this adjustment now for how many years? lol
Hell if af2+2 augmented gear made stratgems free screw stormsurge i'd 5/5 Equanmity and Tranquility and have -50 enmity nukes and cure IV's full time.
