D:
THEIR BASE ATTACK ALL SUCK. Better be multi-hit skills… Though I doubt it cause I can see your Omega Overheat signs on the skills. Apparently more charges makes up for having decent base attack to IMC, noitdoesn’treally.
All 3 slash skills… Hmm hmm…
Sky Liner seems like another launcher skill, so that Highlanders actually match more with their description as abusing collision-like skills other than Cartarstroke and Wagon Wheel, I get it, I get it.
Cross Cut is a bleed activator, for which Sky Liner is supposed to do extra damages, okay, okay. I don’t care about bonus damage for such terribly weak skills in the first place, but maybe attributes will change my mind on everything. Never played with Pommel Beat or Double Slash to really see bonus damages in action, so I am lacking in experience.
Vertical Slash is apparently another armour break skill. It’s Google translated translation might suggest that it’s another Punish skill for knocked down enemies, AKA no work on bosses, sorry excuse for a C3 skill. But I need videos to make sure I am right. Anyway, Skull Swing was the reason to go to Highlanders in the first place, so an extra one seems dokes.
All-in-all, they are trying to buff Highlanders in the same way they buffed Rodeleros. I never found much merit in tons of spammable skills on a build, as you’d just drain your MP out. You need efficiency in damage-per-mana, yus. (I’m looking at you, Stylish gameplay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6ZxyBIQ0Mo)… As much as I wanted some skills to contest the standard Highlander point allocation for Cartarstroke, Moulinet and Skull Swing, I don’t know… I’m happy but disappointed.
Anyway that’s my stupid thought trail about these skills, which don’t belong here o xo; Thanks a lot Flash for everything.
EDIT: I don’t really think Vertical Slash is another Punish anymore. Anyway, I’ll have to see how it plays out by biding my time and waiting for someone to upload from KR… Do I need charges on a debuff skill? Not really. Will Skull Swing and Vertical Slash stack? It better. I’ll put my faith in a Luring Slice of ToS, but Squires better not steal my job away with Arrest…
Also Highlanders can live with just using Cartarstroke for C1, and save points for the rest I guess. That is if anyone actually intends to go Highlander and not just cause they have to or want the passive 50% Crit Rate with 2H swords… So pretty much nobody. Maybe except that idiot who will make a C3 Swordsman, C2 Highlander build for bleed builds.
