I think alot of this is very upsetting. All that I expected out of these new weaponskills was for the level 1 merit of the WS to be slightly stronger then any other WS available for that weapon class. As for the level 5 merit of the WS it should be weaker then relic/empyrean WS used by a relic/empyrean weapon. I wished this was the case for all of them but it seems like it isn't. It's already sad that as you progress through your current WS's they are a big let down. Meaning that you do quests and kill NM's for them and some/most of them are still weaker then the ones you already had but did considerably more work for. If this let down spiral continues I'll just quit this game and join one that does so much more right like Rift or some other new MMO. It was decent while it lasted.

I guess you don't or haven't realized that in 99% of the cases, WS such as WSNM (which apparently requires a lot of work) were basically put in for SC properties... Evisceration is one off of the top of my head.. Tachi: Kasha for fusion.. pretty much all of that entire set of WSs, was for SC purposes. I am upset, they made Shujin weaker than pummel and basically flat out admitted it :(. And they nerfed the sword WS already. I'm not sure which to pick now, because I was gonna do sword for blu :(.

Pummel is a strong WS. It's comparable to Victory Smite, statistically. Why does PUP deserve a stronger WS?

I'll admit a few weapons need stronger stuff, including Club, but h2h is not one of them. Honestly, sword needs a strong physical WS outside of CDC.

Tik, if its not stronger than pummel, and its not really stronger than A Fury, what would be the point of the h2h WS?

It's stronger than Afury. According to Motenten it may actually be slightly better than Smite with Impetus down given the attack bonus we didn't initially know about.

That being the case night (from a pup standpoint), didn't the dev team flat out admit it was weaker than pummel and "with gear and food the cap would be closer", or some such jazz?

四神円舞 -- しじん えんぶ (Shijin Enbu - "Four Gods Waltz")

Oh I do get that. The point I am making is that why is the WS's so unbalanced in this game. They should only be getting stronger as you go up in level. That is the point
