Minor ninja change

I just found weird that Armor Crush don't actually destroy armor so the idea is simply swap AC and Dancing Edge names.

Whaaa why would an ability indicating crippling an opponent's defenses make an enemy more vulnerable to attacks and a skill that indicates fluidity of motion should increase speed?

That's just crazy talk.

I was thinking about this the other day as well! xD

Maybe not only switch names though but animations too as the animations do fit the names :)

If they exchange names why not removing positions of DE, AE and TA. Well always nice to dream the dream xD

Removing the very few positionals they have would make it so boring though.

Ninjas combo finishers are all a bit, uh...confusing.

Huton is a wind elemental buff.

Aeolian Edge comes from Aeolus, ruler over the winds. To match, it has a green-ish hue that indicates the wind element and has you spiralling high into the air.
No interaction with Huton whatsoever, only does damage.

Armor Crush is a simple piercing attack much akin to trick and sneak attack.
Increases Huton duration.

Dancing Edge has you wildly flailing at the enemy. And, somehow, reduce slashing resistance in the process.

Like...wut?

I agree it's weird but I think changing the names at this point would be more confusing than it's worth.

Maybe everything got lost in translation lol

Would rather just rename Armor Crush to Wind Spine or the like, if anything; already too used to the names we have. There's also certainly no 'dancing' ("wildly flailing") element to the Armor Crush animation, if those names were to be swapped.

Just be thankful we have Armour Crush at all :P no one wants to go back to the lvl 50 days, haha.

I think some people are confused about what the name swaps would mean. Really, what we would want is for the names and animations to stay bundled together. The *actual* change would be only to the damage and side-effects of the skills.

So: Aolean would still have the swirly wind animation, but its damage would be reduced to what armor crush is now, its positional would be moved to the flank, and it would refresh Huton.
Dancing Edge would keep its animation, but deal more damage and be given the rear positional requirement while no longer causing slashing resist down.
Etc...you get it?

So we want a damage-reduced level 26 skill to buff something we don't get until level 45? I think you might be the one confused.

"Name swaps" do just that... swap the names, and only the names. What you're describing is a swap of effects (name and animation remaining the same).

Personally, as I don't think Dancing Edge nor Aeolian Edge quite fit the animation or effects of Armor Crush, I'd be more in favor of a "name change" than any "name swap", to be clear.

And then as a Monk you have Steel Peak where you shoulder tackle your opponent and then you have Shoulder Tackle where you outstretch your arm to make kind of a beak.
