In the most recent global patch (aug 30th), they removed downsmash from Prime: Roaring Tiger, Prime: Thunder Pound and added it to Prime: Rage Hammer and some Twisted Collision flows. This makes the dev team responsible for mystic just seem completely clueless.
Prime: Rage Hammer is mainly used early in your combos and it is also used as a skill to burst people down in group pvp. Adding downsmash to this skill makes no sense and it will just end up griefing your own combos / other people in group play.
Prime: Roaring Tiger would usually go at the end of your combos to downsmash with, now this is getting removed and I would consider it a nerf.
Prime: Thunder Pound having downsmash removed is a great change, this usually griefed a lot of knockdowns and this is the only positive outcome of the patch.
The Twisted Collision flows that they added downsmashes to was never being used to combo with, makes no sense to take away downsmashes and add it to these skills. Completely useless change.
Please forward this to PA before it makes it to live servers. Most of these changes make no sense.
I am starting to wonder if PA has shifted their more seasoned devs to help get Crimson Desert out the door and we are left with interns
