Soldier's Thousand Stab has always been mediocre and unused, especially in comparison to other soldier skills. Could we possible up it's weapon attack scaling to 95% at rank 5?

That, plus make it attack 6 times, instead of 4.

Maybe if it's FP cost was lower, it wouldn't be completely trash. Why spend 10-14 FP on it when you can spend 10-14 FP on most other soldier skills, or close to it, at least? I remember back when it was actually remotely usable once upon a time, when it was basically 4 FP at rank 1 and could be used to hit something you couldn't normally reach without neutering your FP pool. Now that it costs 2.5x-3.75x more, AND is weak as all hell (Scaled Weapon Attack is everything right now and anything with nonexistant/low SWA scaling is generally unusable garbage) it's just completely inexcuseable.
It needs an FP cost reduction AND a SWA buff.

I buffed it to 100% of the scaled stat, we'll see what that does for it.

I think it should hit a few more times, too, mostly for the cool factor. Same total damage, obviously.
I mean, it is called Thousand Stab.

Maybe, but it gets the message across already, I'd think. Extra damage hits cause some extra server overhead, which has been getting better but still isn't at the stage where I'd like to provoke it.

My issue with giving something more attacks is how it spreads the damage out. I'm pretty sure Thousand Stab is safe (it applies the extra as a final hit at the end, right? Elemental Rave does this as well, and I think Mad Chop still works this way) but there are several examples, such as, say... Rapid Kick + Phoenix Talon, or Multishot Guns + Elemental Augment, that lead to wasted, unapplied damage since it was simply spread over the number of hits and didn't match up properly.
I mean, with 2 hits, any multiple of 2 applies properly, and only 1 damage is ever wasted max. If something had 20 hits... yeah.
Again, I THINK Thousand Stab is safe, I'm just stating a concern with multihit in general.

I'd like 6 hits as well, it seems a lot cooler that way.
