    C&S has never been a 3-hit attack in the history of its existence. it's only ever done a single damage hit, the textbox is extremely misleading; it merely describes the animation, not how the attack actually functioned. go back and watch literally any DRK POV of HW & SB content to see; you only see a single damage tick. It never gave triple Mp ticks or 1350 potency.

    In fact, C&S is literally the strongest its ever been in SHB.

    In HW & SB, it was either a:
    1) 100 potency attack that gave a bit of mana
    2) 450 potency hit if enhanced with Dark Arts, but removed the MP effect.

    Now in SHB, it straight up does 450 potency, costs 0 MP to get said potency, and gives MP. It's far from a corpse; it literally stands above every iteration that came before it in terms of effective power by taking all the good and leaving behind any downsides. Now whether you agree if the skill is interesting or not after it lost its DA interaction is a different story.

    Darn it... It has been 4 and a half years, already...So it will not surprise me if my memory betrays me, since I always had memory issues... ignore what I said and put it on a Wish-list, then. It would be great to see a Three-fold attack that is a actual triple-hit, rather than just to look like one and be a fake.
