Na, dont like this idea. It feels like the monk before his rework at the end of shb.
Where he was at first slow and became faster after some hits. That Design wasnt so greate (esspecial, because the time Limit was so slow).
Drg feels like the second fastes meele, with the most straight lined rotation (fastes is the monk, nin feels like he is place 3). But, is weaker in dmg as the other meele.

I think, that is what it should be. No or little build up to look after. The only things is, to reduce the skill chain again (5 Hits feels a little to much). And make the dragon eye easier.

Maybe they could have a round around aoe attack (and not all the time a line aoe).
