I did read what you posted, but I see you're basically doing the same thing you accuse me of. Your proposal will break relic WS more, hell Mercy would become the new evisceration and no longer even need SA which to me is very broken. Don't need another 4 hit crit dmg WS that has a 3.0 ftp on first hit. People want them to be equal, not overpowered/unbalanced.

If you are using heca in your SATA set then the STR bonus is actually better than a DEX bonus.
The Str set for Mercy is not comparable to the Dex set for Rudra's storm, but is still the best set for Mercy Stroke, that is the only point that I was making. Also, you can't say a Str Bonus is better than a Dex Bonus for base SA/TA either as that is inaccurate when looking at the individual functions of the abilities. However, this is not a thf discussion thread it is a relic weapon thread so I won't go any further off topic than that.
