Knight: Samurai and Dark Knight Proposal

[Kuwagami]

I was OK with it (and actually would have wanted to play it), until I read the traits.

44: Enhanced Tactical Parry: Parrying or having an attack parried will now grant you 15 TP.
48: Boneshatterer: Bonecrusher will now reduce your damage taken based on your HP% (5s). (Example: You have 80% HP upon use so you will receive a 20% damage taken reduced buff. If you have 20% HP you will receive an 80% damage taken reduced buff.)

Boneshatterer is totally OP. No need to explain why I guess. I know it's intended to give a "last chance move" to the tank (samurai), but it shouldn't really be made that way. Especially when we see how powerful that attack already is at low %HP (420 potency at 20% HP, really ?)

Enhanced tactical parry is tricky because... it might be totally OP too, or completely useless. But I'll come back on that just after with..

The samurai :
If anything, he should come from lancer and not from pugilist. Because you give him parry buffs => keen flurry.

That said, his tank stance is like the exact same one as shield oath, with evasion and parry rates upped just for the sake of it. Give them one or the other, not both. Increased defense (not damage reduced, just defense increased) and parry rate and/or parry strengh should be enough.

Anyway, increased parry rate with "enhanced tactical parry" means a TP generator which will be unlikely to be stopped.


I have nothing to say yet on DRK

@Marta I don't agree with samurai being a tank...it should stay dps.

why not ? It's traditionally an off-tank (or tanky dps, depending on how you see it). Still more fitting than ninja (despise what the crying "nintank" could say) or other stuff. Less than templar though, sure, but we aren't discussing about templars here ^^
