Saber Dance is about to get SWEET
Kallila's DEV Post
They're planning on adjusting Group 2 merit abilities which have reduced recast upon meriting to 1.) Have their recast fixed at the maximum upgrade potential (so Saber dance would be fixed 2.) Instead have effects increase upon further merits. I get a strong feeling this will severely alter the way we merit our DNC. Thoughts? :) quite possibly it might, still might be situational in use due to healing. in a group setup or sometime when someone else can heal then yep saber all the time. something else to consider, fan dance, how much more potent will that be :)
I'm guessing for Fan Dance, each merit would raise the floor on DT-.
So basically both saber and fan will have a 2:30 timer after the second merit and their effects increased after that. I understand that saber will probably just have a higher amount of DAs, but what about fan? If they make it where it only degrades to like 70% pdt that would be AWESOME. I would consider going back to full fan merits if they do that while tossing all my -pdt gear at the same time lol.
But back to saber. Its already a good ja but to have even more attacks at a 2:30 timer will just be insane. Its been a very long time since I've been excited about an update so good job SE. Edit: slow to the above posters on fd. Etc. I would love to celebrate, but this post pretty much sums up how I think it's going down.
There's a difference between taking something useless and making it very slightly less useless and taking the fourth most powerful offensive JA in the game and making it stronger.
Of all the JAs that are updated, ours is easily the strongest offensively in most situations. It also doesn't have a clear way to enhance it that isn't going to make it substantially stronger. Tanaka is coming. They could always do something like increase critical hit rate instead of more double attack, which would still be a nice bonus without being lethal.
That would still make a great offense JA even better.
The tone of their discussion of merit point adjustments is that they wanted to make merit stuff more powerful / useful.
To be honest I don't think even taking saber from 20 --> 30% double attack floor would be all that overpowered (especially considering we have to give up merits in our other awesome group 2 merits to do that) Last Resort > Hasso > Haste Samba > Saber Dance

Its funny how much hate Tanaka gets yet he basically helped make FF.
Byrth, you almost killed me. I nearly choked on a bite of pizza when I saw that.
It already gives a large DA upgrade. I don't see its adjustment being very major.

I would love a boost to Saber Dance potency, I practically full time it for soloing dynamis DNC/THF. It is amazing, and if they are making it better all I have to say is: 3 mins would be correct I guess!
they could always just add triple attack procs with each upgrade! =D DO IT SE!!!!!!!!!
lol if that happens we will never hear the end of it from THFs
