 Results

Brave Slash 840ms compared to ACB advantage: +2.07%
Brave Slash 840ms compared to ACB no advantage: +48.78%
Brave Slash 1140ms compared to ACB advantage: -24.79%
Brave Slash 1140ms compared to ACB no advantage: +9.63%

Booster, Final Attack, and Maple Warrior (for example) will raise each other's stats equally. Booster may not, but I'm unaware of the Fast (4) speed of an 1140ms attack. If you see something wrong, let me know. I'll gladly update my table and edit this appropriately.

EDIT: Compared to ACB (which hits double the targets), it's pretty decent in Big Bang in either case (preference to 840ms since it does not stun or hit 6 targets). In Restructuring, not so much as ACB gets buffed far beyond Brave Slash.

So is that what you want? Where Brave Slash is grossly overpowered compared to Advanced Charge Blow, even when it has an elemental advantage?

Sure thing. You sound like you know about balance, bro.
Because those tiny area bosses really make a paladin useful.

Mhm.
