Bad information isnt as harmful as leaving out information all together, and giving reasons for why something is good (and bad) is helpful when it comes to something where there IS a choice to be made. As merits are limited by mechanics, not by player opinion. In short, its about preference, i personally like the total round picture so i balanced everything to some degree, to what degree, ill leave it up in the air for now, but i do love me some dia III, even at just 1 merit, if well organized, you can fire off the 30 second debuff before all DDs unleash sekkanoki>ws>ws for some decent results.
