Black Desert Online global labs 07/07/2023 Awakened Ninja received a change where Murderous Intent cooldown got increased from 3 seconds to 6 seconds, for most practiced Awakened Ninja players this alters the gameplay pattern too much.

Suggestions to fix this:

Suggestion 1: Leave Murderous Intent as it is, Tier 1 addon, -15 DP, and 3-second cooldown. Murderous Intent can already be cast from Main Hand state from Quickslot. In the global labs update, the change allowing Murderous Intent to cast when Ankle Cutter is locked with SHIFT + Left Click will be a nice change that will reduce the heavy reliance on Quickslots for Awakened Ninja. Murderous Intent is a skill that Awakened Ninja players heavily rely on and would rather it remain the same.

Suggestion 2: Remove the Stiffness on the Murderous intent and allow it to retain the 3 second cooldown.

Suggestion 3: Remove CORE Murderous intent from the kit and let it retain the 3 cooldown. In exchange add CORE Shadow Slash where Super Armor is applied to the skill.

Justice for Ninja! Fix MI!

So after thinking through it, the main problem they had was that BON: Murderous Intent spamming was becoming way too strong giving that you could stiff every 3 seconds with super armor. This is fine and it was an actual problem with the class which made dueling it very hard, but it could have been fixed a lot easier by literally just removing the BON itself. I can speak for a majority of ninjas that would agree the BON being removed would be a better change than having the CD increased on the skill. Murderous intent is a huge neutral movement skill for Awakening Ninja that has been a core movement since the release of the class. Increasing the CD on this by double is way too much when the BON can be simply removed. 

Please just give us the 3 sc cd back and remove the bon skill or something

MI CD INCREASE IS A CLASS KILLER I WONT BE PLAYING NINJA IF THIS GOES LIVE

Don't remove the bon skill or move it to shadow slash, walk back the 6s cd change. Easy fix. It sucks to duel against 3s stiff mi with SA, but the reality is, every other class is already ultra protected and has similar dumb stuff that they won't remove from the game. No use settling for less if you want to be competitive in this game. I mean, who is complaining about SA mi but succ ninjas? Everybody is too busy complaining about grabs.

Noooo. I do NOT want that trade. Just lower the CD back. Even 4 sec is fine.

Is Awk Ninja that strong that it warrants this nerf?
