[dev1040] Merit points adjustments

[Byrth]

Can we get an ironclad guarantee that you won't nerf the potency of merit JAs and make us restore them through merit levels?
ie. Saber Dance's base DA rate is 20%. Knowing a typical SE patch, you guys would nerf it to a base rate of 12% and make us restore it to 20% through merits. Please don't.

So so so so worried about this... Thinking about Troubadour and Nightingale as well, and many other things

At least with Troub and Nightingale you don't really have any other competitive Tier 2 merit to spend it on. For Dancer, we're facing:
1) They buff Saber/Fan Dance and we happily re-merit because we like the changes better than Closed Position.
2) They change Saber/Fan Dance to be weaker at 1/5 than they are currently, but stronger at 5/5. We grudgingly re-merit or at least push things around.
3) They full-SE it and make you go 5/5 Saber or Fan Dance to get an effect as potent as the current one. I lose 4 of my Closed Position merits just so I can use Saber Dance the same way I do now.
