I personally am of the mind that Full Swing has always been overpowered. Weapons that can get it are amazing, weapons that can't are worse because of it. +20 added to SWA is kind've absurd.
I would think the idea would be to make the game more fast paced and to let damage dealers deal more damage, but in reality that isn't even the case. Healers use it too, to heal more. Long ranged people can use it too, with mutations or special attacks. . . Can even use it alongside global strikes. . . The idea in concept was fine, but I think the implementation could be changed a little bit.
I would like to instead change it to: Increase the SWA (Or power) of the weapon by 10 (20 if the weight is 20 or higher) when using a skill or basic attack on a target within one range of you.
This would make it so healers don't get full swing boosted healing, which doesn't really make thematic sense anyway.
This would also make it so spells don't get boosted by it either, which also kind've doesn't make much thematic sense. And I think its kind've stupid that people mutate or arcanize weapons so much because they just end up being way better tomes. . When tomes are literally designed to be the spellcasting tool.
This would also make it so melee fighters can close the power level gap that ranged fighters currently have over them a bit.
And also would have the effect of making howling handshot no longer way better than every other bow that exists.
And this would still speed up combat potentially by giving melee non dagger people something in their corner.
