according to the article it appears that positionals will be only extending huton effects. so if u want to play as you do and refresh huton every 60 seconds you do that with

And you leave out the part they mentioned where we get an ability that lets a WS hit three times? How's that for cool abilities?

It doesn't all it says is we get a new end of a comob that comes from the gust spinning edge gust slash combo.

Triple overbuffed Aeolian Edge in one go

Then guess we'll need those aggro management skills after all, huh?

after spinning edge gust slash combo.

If its another combo finisher, in the video of skills, it is used after Shadow Fang, not Gust Slash, so Im still rather dubious of this one... but its true there is nothing mentioned about positionals in that text.

Bad news, the "ability that makes a WS hit three times" was a mistranslation. They fixed it to "a weapon skill that hits three times". But there is also a new buff that increases WS damage.

It sounds like Ninjas are gonna have even more buttons than every other DPS to worry about (they already do now). :/

Thanks! As for additional buttons, it doesn't really seem that bad. We're getting one new combo action for sure. It seems like the "skills that weaken enemies" is referring to the Dancing Edge debuff and the Trick Attack debuff, rather than anything new. The new skill that hits three times could honestly be the same one that they're adding to our combos, though that's unclear. It seems at the moment we'll have up to two new main rotational Weaponskills--the rest of our additions seem to be cooldowns.
