Yea, well Duality uses it a bit vaguely so I wouldn't get my hopes up. I think they really just meant any bonuses associated with the combo, but I won't complain if we keep the potency.

Your point about the positional bonus with AE and ArC is interesting. I forgot that it's added on to the base rather than the combo.
I think it's a good thing so that weakest weaponskill doesn't get more benefit than our finisher.

EDIT:
Oh the full patch notes are up.
Might clear up some things.

And.....Nope.


I'm in-game, aww yeah.

AE is 100 potency by default
Combo Potency is 240
Rear Combo Potency is 320.

I already logged out but, didnt AE get a different default potency if done from behind? I think it was around 180.

shade shift only works on physical damage so be careful

[Arkenne]

Yea, AE's non-combo potency from the rear position is 180.
So if Issou really stands up for whole 10 seconds instead of only for the next skill, the AE combo with it would do 1100 potency in 6 seconds instead of 670... that sounds sexy O_o

[Allyrion]

Yea, I really glossed over the 180 line cause it was after the default but not with the green text like the rest. Yea, that's pretty sweet.

That makes me sad.

So while soloing, good to remember that Dancing Edge is stronger than Aeolian Edge if you can't get the position.

[AlphaDragoon]

Armor Crush is freaking amazing. Never have to reup Huton again. And it seems like you can sneak an Aeolian Edge in there every so often and still never have to reup it, even if you're doing your own Dancing Edges.

With the gigantic nerf to aeolian edge, and the useless duality skill, only affects 1 weapon skill, long cooldown, does not flow into your kit well in the slightest, the overly flashing dream within a dream (yes I'm 60 already) ninja has taken a gigantic shit dive. I plan on dropping it until it gets a proper rebalancing.

Does Mugen Sandan roots you on the spot and have no way to interrupt the animation?

AE was nerfed?
