One Shot Mechanics

[Sylvain]

I think it's mostly the fact that you can't reasonably counterplay the SAM or NIN LBs that makes them annoying.

50% is a very easy threshold to catch people under with NIN's LB, while SAM still hits hard even without the instakill conditional and can't be guarded which also makes it viable as a finisher.

DRG and RPR are much tamer comparatively because their LB damage is not instantaneous and Guard actually works on them while MNK's just doesn't hit hard enough to be terribly threatening in general outside of low HP targets.

Yeah, the fact that guard doesn't work is probably the biggest factor. Like if I often notice me getting the Kuzushi debuff and know i'm about to get LB'd, Yet I can't do anything. Similarly NIN's threshold should be lower. I don't mind the no guard on him because it's ST and he can't just do it after being hit by a random AoE I did while at 100% hp. But 50% IS an easy threshold. So either that or remove the chain. I'd rather them just reduce the Threshold to something like 35% and keep the chain.
