New DNC 2 Hour Feedback

[Babekeke]

I can only assume that most 2 hours are so bad just because they are introducing the option to merit them. An amazing 2 hour is a bad starting point for an improvable ability. Merits for this are likely to have a category for "Flourish timer down 20% per merit".

It's a shame, but SE probably came up with really good ideas for 2 hours, then worked backwards, stripping them of some utility to put that utility into merits. Then they think up 2-3 other terrible categories that won't really enhance the ability in anyway and add them as the other meritable options, even though they know noone will ever merit them.

My inner optimist wants to believe that what we are seeing is in fact exactly that kind of terrible logic.

My logical side knows that they will introduce stupid merits that do things like "Extend effect for 2 seconds per merit..." even though 3 weapon skills and 3 reverse flourishes only take like 10 seconds total out of a 30 second duration and the effect is lost after the 3rd one.

My inner pessimist fully expects them to pull a total troll and arrange the merits in a way that makes it so that you can only fully merit 3 jobs... you know, so that you have a choice. It's not a limitation. It's a choice... yeah. /sarcasm
