Return of Reckoning

I was hoping squig herders could get a 10 percent parry buff as well? I think it would fit great on squig armor.

I believe it came with a -10% to dodge chance. There is more parry coming via tactic with the rework eventually but yeah it would be nice to see SH get some QoL improvements in the meantime, especially after seeing how much love SWs have gotten. I REALLY don't understand why we don't get dodge strike through converted into parry strike through like they do in melee mode, and that AA speed boost from that patch (posted below) would be nice too, especially considering we aren't doing anywhere near the same kinda damage as melee SWs with no ini debuff and no additional AA damage (their ab.changelist says their AA damage is increased by 65% in assault on top of this speed buff).

Shadow Warrior - Assault Stance
- Dodge Strikethrough will now convert to Parry Strikethrough
- Grants +10% Parry but reduces Dodge by -10%
- Melee attacks have a 25% chance to increase Autoattack speed by 25% for 5s

Doesn't reduce dodge anymore.

Make balance proposals like SW's did for like 6 months straight. Pretty simple stuff.

Pretty simple stuff he says. That's a lolz and a half.

I cannot make any more stabbin proposals or I would have, sorry.

I was hoping for a mirror on this too at least in the meantime. I'm still having fun on stabbin, I got to a point before these buffs that I thought I was doing pretty good comparatively. But after these buffs, It seems like i'm so far away in terms of surviving and killing things. Not just from a solo perspective, but having a guard and heals as well.

I eagerly await these changes, I would love to make some more well thought out balance proposals. If you look at my balance proposal history, I **** up every opportunity I had to make this spec better.

Torque has melee Squig changes lined up, which I presume are coming with client control.
