I believe you're trying to say that the nerf to Ice Strike is more significant regardless of how small the change is because it is used as a primary attack skill. If you even bothered to actually do the math, you'd find that 5.52/4.50 does not equal 18%. You're ignoring the fact that Ice Strike had a significant damage increase for a very insignificant speed decrease in comparison.My mistake. I actually meant to list it the other way around. It's actually 4.50 / 5.52. The other way would indicate that the old Ice Strike was 22% stronger. How silly of me to think that gaining 60% more damage and losing 102% more on a speed decrease meant a nerf. I guess it is a buff.
I was under the assumption that mobbing skills didn't make up a class. They got nerfed, but they are all still the training skills for the characters. Each skill is still compariable to other skills that the class has. Dragon Strike is still spammable compared to Orb, but Orb is stronger just as Snatch isn't as powerful but offers stun. I'm speaking of a manner where the class has a skill that is used in one situation. Ice Strike is the 3rd job's only mob attack and Brave Slash is the Hero's only spammable attack. Buccaneer's have options and cases where each attack is more effective.
