@AndrlCh Fair enough. Hopefully you don't have to nuke all your current builds to reset them.

@AndrlCh Thank you very much for coming back to tell me, that's very thoughtful of you. I knew about this, and make liberal usage of it. It's also great because the charge parry window is pretty big.

@AndrlCh I suppose the issue I have with the weapon, is that it has a smaller pool of Photon Arts, while also having the issue of few useful Photon Arts. Maybe I've just been spoiled by the Partizan.

Does anyone have any idea why the Soaring Blades have only 7 Photon Arts, when every other weapon (excluding the TEC weapons) has 11 (10 for the bow) Photon Arts? I really love using the Soaring Blades, but it feels like half a weapon without as much variety in its use compared to other weapons. I know the idea for Bouncer players is to swap between weapons, but I just don't understand why every other class can comfortably sit on one weapon, while the Bouncer has to play both just to get the most out of the class.

@AndrlCh Thank you for the reply (and the tidbit), I'll probably just stick to one point then. If things are melting in MPAs then there really isn't a point to me trying to maintain a 50% damage buff. If a boss shows up, I can just go stand in an attack and then continue from that point.

I am curious if there is any reason to put more than one point into advanced guard stance. I don't fully understand how the skill is applied on a perfect guard, but if it is refreshed every time you perfect guard something, spending 4 extra points to get 20 seconds on an already fairly long buff doesn't seem like a good investment.
