  • I'm not asking for a capstone skill to work as a capstone skill just for the purpose of having a capstone skill. I want it for its complexity -- its ability to anchor and give reason for small rotational decisions leading into those key, decisive moments. That, in a nutshell, was the old one-charge TG.

  • Shifting potency "back into" Ogi Namikiri does not require removing TG and its complexity. In fact, Ogi hasn't actually lost much of any damage on average. At 800 potency (effectively 1200 under Kaiten), it had an expected value (pre-DHit) of a relative 1290 potency before at 1350 Critical Hit. At an 800 potency auto-crit now, it has an expected value of 1200 potency at that same amount of Critical Hit. The anti-synergy of not being affected by Battle Litany costs all of 60 potency, or 4.4% of the original's buffed damage. Such is annoying and unfortunate, much like the devs' ill-warranted insistence on auto-crits, but it does not much change Namikiri's relative damage profile.

5. Bring back Kaiten so we don't have to debate replacement ideas.
But yes, this.
