You stated that skill damage was also changed because air attack damage with the update regarding the reduced number of attack hits. You changed the skill so it only has 2 hits now instad of 6. The thing is all of those 6 hits were able to hit as air attack since it is a really quick attack. Now instead of 5/6 (if the first hit applies a float) or 6/6 only 1/2 (if float applied on first hit) or 2/2 can hit in the air with a 1.7x multiplier. Meaning 100% or 50% instead of 100% or 83.3% can hit in the air compared to before, making it already a nerf to the skill. However you also changed the PvP dmg reduction from 37.1% --> 60.8% which is again a huge damage nerf. Now if I am able to float someone in PvP the skill suffers from reduced air attack (50% instead of 83.3%) and also reduced PvP base damage (62.3% effective dmg compared to before the dmg nerf) resulting in around 53.2% dmg as compared to before the update. The skill also had 0% crit rate and used to be 25% accuracy before the update but now with accuracy being on par on every skill the skill just does not deal good dmg anymore and mostly got outhealed by a single hp pot while running high dmg builds.

So either they messed up the adjustement for air attacks or they wanted ninja to lose one of his main damage skills especially in succession.

Yeah same issue almost for serpent on awk, it UNIRONICALLY feels better to use katana shower core in place of serpent now. Not to mention the flow for vacuum slash now feels like slow casting it before patch.

You guys at least have serpet, shadow stomp was the hardest hitting tool on succession despite being just absolute version. I would understand if we would get the Prime version of it. But now the dmg output is negative. Also the prime heart aiming is trash now, don't know why we didn't got the +accuracy on it instead of -eva since it's one target only skill.
