    So, false ultimatum, but if you had to decide between the two, would you rather...
    1. Have access to all weaponskills at all times with a softer variant of Forms and other factors to then limit the otherwise complete freedom this would grant. Perfect Balance nullifies these penalties, perhaps among others (maybe... guaranteeing positionals, or offering the innate bonuses of each Form simultaneously?).

      Or

    2. You can only see the weaponskills for a particular form at a time, but you now have 4-5 skills per Form and different skills switch you to different forms? (Think... Absolver, but with 4 paths -- up from 1 long and 1 short -- across each of 3 forms, down from 4.) Perfect Balance is replaced.



    Currently writing a suggestion set for each, but if one is clearly hated, I won't waste time polishing it.

    Edit: Currently making use of Blitz skills (a special/dynamic weaponskill based on recent actions) in both versions. Neither version seems particularly better than the other for that, or indeed almost anything. The second just tends to feel more fighting-game-esque, while the first makes it more obvious that you have a large toolkit that you need to weave the best use out of, tactically.
