Definitely a poorly designed skill. While I agree that 720ms Brave Slash was overpowered, there was absolutely no need to nerf both its speed and damage to improve Enrage and Advanced Combo. If anything, buffing Advanced Combo discourages the use of Panic and Coma as it favours keeping Combo up as opposed to spending it on Finishers, since most monsters would die quickly enough to make Chance Attack not come into play very often. The Enrage buff was uncalled for. It did not need to be that strong. They should have just lowered Brave Slash's speed to match Brandish, maybe raised the % a bit and maybe change Enrage to a party buff or non-cooldown weapon attack buff. Or perhaps make Enrage a buff or passive skill that improves Panic and Coma so they'll actually be used.
I just need to know what happened to brave slash, it doesn't even sound like it's worth the 30 sp now

Heaven's Hammer has 40 seconds of cooldown now... it doesn't even kill enemies and its cooldown is longer than any other ultimate skill.
I believe Paladins are ahead of both warriors in terms of %/s, unless every orb when you have Advanced Combo adds 10% (i.e. 200% max). Dark Knights are using Sacrifice now though, so I'm not sure how that plays out, but given their higher modifier for weapons, they're likely a bit stronger, and a sure thing if Final Attack works with it. If I'm reading this correctly though, Charge Blow in 3rd job does not spend your Charge, so that's a significant bonus that I believe warrants the mob count nerf, especially with the new delay. Even without Hammer, Paladins dominate large mob damage with ACB, something that Heroes severely lack as Brave Slash and Brandish can only hit three targets, and Fury with Berserk just isn't very strong comparatively. Especially in any scenario where the Paladin has advantages. Regarding that, I've no idea whether or not they get 1.5x while dual-charging or if it's lowered or anything, but it's a significant bonus over an already tight race for %/s. Even though this does reduce the usefulness of hammer, I think that with all the monster HP buffs, and the fact that it always brings HP down to 10000 makes it a lot stronger than it may seem. 10000 is basically OHKO anyways at this point in the game.
