I dunno, those cousins, man...I think they need cursing. With their...cousining. And...being related to the sibling of Yoshi's parent. My word what horrible people they are because of that.

Now that I think on it, if you want to feel already nerfed you just have to change raiton for fuma shuriken and then you obtain the damage that more or less you are going to do....

Let's explain this.... Raiton is 320 potency. Fuma Shuriken is 240. But fuma shuriken will receive 20% for physical attack, that makes it 288 potency.... Still a big difference, you think? Okay, then let's say that Dancing Edge buff reduces 10% of enemy's slashing resistance, and it does affect fuma shuriken.... So, I don't know how it is calculated, but if we take it as a 10% of 288 it would be... 316. If you take it as a 10% based on the main potency then it would be 312... Almost no damage difference and fuma shuriken is casted easily with rarely chance of failing because mudra lagg and with possibility of cast between GCD.

I guess Raiton will only be useful for PvP attacking other melees, or in enemies affected by Foe Requiem.

Changes weren't needed to begin with, but too many whining Dragoons. >_>

They needed a buff. Ninja's didn't need a nerf.

Let's be honest, who's the real whiner here?

As I said, the sky is not falling.

Using my last T10 run as a bar, Suiton/Raiton contributed little less than 7% of my overall damage. With the 20% reduction taken into account, my DPS dropped by 4. Barely a nerf.

Uhm, now that you say it... It's true, 360 potency!... Stills... If you want to taste how the nerf will be use fuma shuriken instead of raiton, I already tried in some dungeons, I can live with it.

I'm fine with these changes and 100% understand the tp change
