A samurai idea : going backwards

[Ragology]

I'm a bit lost.

Could you repeat your "Tachi" skill chain example but use Heavy swing, Skull sunder and butchers block so that it's easier for me to follow you?

Instead of having Heavy Swing > Skull Sunder > Butcher's Block, you'll learn BB first, then Heavy Swing then Skull Sunder.

Heavy Swing could have the effect of adding +100 potency to BB, Skull Sunder could add a DoT effect on BB, Maim could add a +20% damage increase for 20% to BB, etc...
This way, you would decide what buffs you'll stack, and apply them all at once each time you use BB. And you'd be restricted to the number of buffs you can stack, depending on a trait.
