I don't feel like my feedback as a player regarding class imbalance is pointless, but whatever. If the devs didn't want any feedback they wouldn't keep asking for it.

you need all three to use such skills effectively, just light strike alone would be a substantial loss in tp generation, 1/3rd less controllable tp generation.

OK then, I'll put Heavy Strike back in the game, and reduce the cooldown on Pummel to 15 seconds.

Sounds good which means most people on the forums will flame you for it.

A single provoke does about 200 points worth of enmity, which is what nocking an arrow will do. This will add some kind of cost to using a skill as powerful as multishot. It will also give archers something to think about for hate management. There's a reason they have skills like quelling strike and subtle release, but if they can't do crazy damage like they used to do, there needs to be something that makes them consider the consequences of increasing their DPS.

+enmity like on materia is not what I'm talking about at all. +enmity on materia acts like Intimidation, where it adds additional enmity onto every action you do. What I'm talking about with multishot is that for every arrow you nock, you generate 200 points of enmity, just as if you cured someone for 200 HP.

Oh, and I meant to say "taunt", not "Provoke". Provoke does more like 400 points of enmity.

It's still more applicable than not, but that doesn't diminish my earlier point of needing an enmity cost for multishot that is roughly similar to using one taunt.
