Check out the v.249 - Minar Picnic Patch Notes
here!
Recently hayato was revamped along with kanna, but only few things had changed, including diagonal hitokiri and i-frame for zankou. Unlike other sengoku class kanna getting continuous feedbacks, hayato is abandoned. Hayato has many problems to be solved and I want give some suggestions. (DPM chart shows hayato is located 43 out of 47.)
Hayato's issues are...
>lack lines.
>lack burst damage.
>terrible mobbing below 200.
>hardest 3 line node chance.(I used 2500 nodes and got none)
>meaningless sword energy system, only used for phantom blade.
>high dependence on phantom blade.
>skills which need improvements.(hitokiri strike, battoujutsu advance etc...)
>more problems not listed here...
Hayato should appeal his identity as a balanced mid-tier class samurai using eye-catching skills and dashes. Listed some skill improvements for this purpose below.
*Sword energy system
•Max energy adjusted.
1st 400
2nd 600
3rd 800
4th 1000
>summer rain/hitokiri hundred strike cost will be lower in low level zone. This will help mobbing before 4th job advancement slightly. Both skill's buff will be availabke after 4th job advancement.
•Cost for quick draw(100) removed.
•Hp/Mp bonus for normal stance removed.
>Changing stance results in hp loss in some situations.
•Final damage 20% at 1000 energy.
>Successful control of sword energy should be more rewarded.

•I-frame and binds the enemy during cast time.

>Phantom blade's power shifted. Also making shinsoku a better choice to use in some situations.

Battoujutsu Advance | Battoujutsu Combo
• Hitting any of the moves or pressing this skill's hot key will activate 1st stack buff.
Each stack lasts for 8 second, and grants 2% attack power. Stack will rise if hayato use any of the unused move below. This skill will change to foremost move unused once stack buff is activated. Successfully casting 8 moves will grant 60 sec buff that cannot be extended.

I know hayato is JMS contents, so writing something here will be useless. Just hoping JMS to hear hayato user's feedbacks and do a better revamp in the future...

....what? What makes u consider Hayato to be one of the strongest? There's top level contenders like DB, Adele, Hero, etc. I don't consider him weak, but don't think he's exactly top tier.
