It would be neat if there were more things to spend Black/White Mana on than the sword combo--even if it was other combos that different things that led into different finishers. As far as DoTs go I don't want one out of pure "I'm so happy I finally have a job with no DoT I've been playing this game for four years and everything is dots dots dots dots help there are so many dots Im drowning".

I'd like more sword combos that do different things. Maybe an ability that would act like Hissatsu: Kaiten that could be used on Verfinisher or Redoublement? Maybe a sword combo specific to generate mana, with en-fire and en-aero to decide which mana would be built up? Maybe a sword strike that resets the cooldown of Acceleration?
