In short, the new DNC 2 hour ability is terrible.
For reference:
1> Finishing Moves are NOT a huge issue for DNC. It's not that it's NOT a nice effect, but because of Flourish Recasts, having an infinite amount of FMs to use is not very beneficial.Gives five finishing moves and resets flourish recast timers.
Eliminates the cost of finishing moves.
2> Flourish Recasts being reset once for this does not give a lot of benefit, as you can still only use one flourish per category and will have to wait another recast.
For most, this will just give us an extra WS every 2 hours. I shouldn't have to explain how tiny that is for a 2 hour ability.
A few ideas: [Note, not going easy with how "broken" these ideas might be, considering how great some other 2 hours are.]
A> Eliminates the cost of Finishing Moves. Flourish Recast Timers reset and reduced for the duration. [Either similar to Trance making Waltzes nearly no cooldown, or just a massive recast reduction.]
B> Causes Steps to grant 5 Finishing Moves and Level 5 Daze. Flourish recast timers are set to 0 for the duration.
I could throw in a few more ideas but I think the picture is clear. The game has enough useless/not too useful 2 hour abilities as-is, and DNC's current 2 hour is nothing amazing. The new 2 hour is not going to be very useful in it's current state, so please reconsider.
If it's not changed, I can only hope that we'll be able to use merits to make it useful.
