Since the Guile nerfs (and to flank mechanics in general), there's been much discussion of how dominant dodge builds are and how the hit/dodge tug of war has gotten worse now that flanking, a previously decent counter to dodging, is much less viable in PvP. Amongst these discussions, I've noticed a decently popular sentiment that dodge itself should be reworked from a chance to avoid damage to simply a chance for a large DR bonus and to ignore on-hit effects.

However, I feel such a massive overhaul is complete overkill for dodge builds; remember, before the Yokoshura update, dodge was often considered equal to or worse than tanking, especially if your build has no source of hit debuffs. 

I feel that evade could be rebalanced back to somewhere closer to its pre-Yokoshura state by just reversing the nerfs to flanking and Guile builds. Reverse the nerf to Deadly Arms and to Guile, maybe even throw daggers a few bones and bump their hit up a bit.

If we do want to go with the 60% DR+Ignore Onhit version of evade instead of simply buffing Guile builds, then maybe it could be made into a Battle Circle setting instead of completely reworking one of the major defensive playstyles gamewide, so PvE players can keep the fantasy of dodging and parrying oncoming strikes like a swashbuckling hero while PvP players have access to an evade system they consider more balanced for competition.

Midnight Ruler, despite being shown to have the Evoke Passive Icon... Is an ACTIVE install only effect.




Burning Strikes also suffers from this, in that it shows as a Non-Install skill icon, but actually does require the youkai to be installed.

Mysterious Rainhat from Kasa-Okabe is also listed in this same way. Genbu, however, has it listed to have his 3rd ability be Install only...

So, should people that have Nacht be able to gain Midnight Ruler from standing in Darkness? (Please say yes. We can be trusted with this)

I want to suggest that newly made floating swords Retain their upgrade level, material and enchantment.

For pre existing mercs I suggest being able to feed them another sword, to change them, feed them material kits to change material, feed them item quality items to grant that quality, feed them catalysts to  grant that enchantment. Also that their UL default to maxxed out.

also a few basic sword skills could please be given to them, Shinken and Side cut maybe.

The embroidered gi recipes will overwrite the material for the output despite the base elemental gi recipes allowing the use of any material.

So, I propose the 1m attack of Samaegaeshi be buffed. it's like, 20 water damage and 10 pierce it feels like. At the very least, 50% SWA and 50% Water attack. Please? Other parts of Shinobi were boosted to catch up, why not this?

Version:
3.02b

Issue: 
Overlay on special attribute monsters doesn't correctly cover the monster.

Expected function:
Overlay covers the monster completely.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Enter an encounter that contains a monster with a special attributes (example: towering giant clam)
   
2. The overlay scaling or positioning will be incorrect, leaving a gap.
   

1. Towering 
   
2. Arcane
   
3. (forgot to note type, I think it was sturdy)
   

Unarmored Prowess' bonus evade shows up on your stats screen when it should not. Making you believe you're 10 base evade above what you actually are.

A thought, what stipulations would you put on theoretically using pieces of 3 classes.


My opinion
Class level reduced to 20.
Innate passives of the third class require slots, you do not gain the base classes skills or passives, all skills count as -1 rank min 1.


So you give up 60 class points total of your first 2 classes and bases for 20 of a thirds

G6 revival thread
This isn't about complaining about Korvara, it's about solutions only. It's about going back.

I suggest we start thinking about some more concrete plans to revitalize G6. I think having both Korvara and G6 be semi-active is possible but we have to make a genuine, community effort for it to happen. Part of this is to begin with a simple thing: drumming up support for the cause. I believe there's a ton of people out there who want to go back to G6, who want to bring it back. But we're not united. We're scattered, reduced to naught but dropping nostalgic tweets in the yokoshura ooc. I believe that if we unite and actually try, we can absolutely make this happen.

We need ideas, we need LFGs, we need people to come out and propose some stuff. Maybe we run some events that people want to see.

Personally I've got a little recent G6 group with events, but the activity really dropped cause I just couldn't keep up the steam. And I think it wasn't really widespread appeal enough. Maybe I should do just a classic eventline, or really just any kind of events.

We should bring back the old LFG spots as well. And not just the LFG spots; what we gotta do is create LFGs to advertise ancient hangout spots such as the C. square and the arena. These locations are crucial for G6's survival, and the only reason people don't gather is because people don't gather. What you gotta do is be that first speck of snow that starts the avalanche. Post your activity, and maybe 1-2 people may show up. But it's about the long game as well. Only 3 guys in the arena, but it gets people talking. Before you know it, it's 3 guys MINIMUM in the arena.

Let's get some fresh new locations to open up too! I mean have you seen the asago housing situation out there? You got PREEM spots just open, waiting to be harvested like premium strawberries. Grab your ticket and go open up your dream café or ball pit salon. Then LFG that shit. And don't give up after just one attempt that got like 1.5 people to show up. We're placing the first stones of a kingdom here. It's gonna start slow. But we can do this.

Any other ideas?
