So i was playing Hayato and i noticed how some of his skills aren't that usefull, or some things happens that are a bit absurd, like how his aura when in the boss stance can hit DR and kill you, and skill overwritting other, even tought it's a OP class for late game, he still have some old skills that could have some changes.
First it's annoying how some of his skills can trigger damage reflect even tought they are constatly activated, like the Quick Draw(begginer skill), that can kill you if this skil hits a boss with damage reflect on; or the Counterattack which is a toggle on-off skill that block attacks, but the problem is that it can also trigger damage reflect so you can't really use if a boss have(they just need to copy cannoer actual skill of blocking attacks...).
Other thing i saw that is really annoying, is how Iron Skin(4job buff) and God of Blades(hyper skill) doesn't stack with each other, they can overwrite each other, so if i use the hyper skill i lose the buff and need re-buff if i want to have the buff active after it, or if i acidentaly re-buff with the hyper on the hyper is gone, which is really frustrating.
I also think Iron Skin could have a passive or active defense with it, since Hayato scale with defense and the skill is a defensive one(something like 500 but still something).
Lastly i find weird how they made a skill that is useless for 99% or even 100% of the time, the skill named Battoujutsu Advance, you are suposed to use all your Battoujustsu skills to gain %attack, but it's useless since boost is really low(just 1% attack per skill you use, max 8%) and the duration is really low, unlike mercedes one that you can actually combo with the same skills to gain stacks and it actually give you a better boost, this skill should either be somewhat similar to merc, or i tought it could give points for the stance, giving 200 points with a 1/2mins of cool down, that way they wouldn't need to worry about combing and this also helps the new 5job skill that actually use those points.
Overall Hayato is good, just some skills are really old and need be uptated.
Comments
you're just commenting for the sake of hating on hayato. i hate the class too and that's why i think this post is amazing, instead of making fun of nexon this guy actually tries to improve the game. props to him.

You mean, making status resistance buffs stack is powerful? That's a joke, right?
And it's not specifically raising damage, it's making skills more useful.
You problably didn't read, after all 2 of 3 are just to make this class viable and like other classes that don't die in damage reflect so easily...., just one ask to make a skill usefull since it's SUPOSED to give damage and it doesn't really give....
You are just raging before seeying things, Hayato isn't even that OP, he's just strong and scale better than most jobs later game, but other classes are similar, like how Bishops can scale better than F/P due to high %crit dmg; Aran for exemple is powerfull, and received a lot of nerfs, Hayato was never OP and only have Shimada Heart to become viable.
You remember me of the ''Feminazi'' that more rage for rage than for an actual rage, or like H3H3production says, it's the cult of outrage instead of anything else.
Required Level: 150
Call upon the ancient spirits of the sword to enhance Hayato’s abilities.
MP Cost: 80, ATT +50 for 30 seconds, All abnormal status and elemental resistance increased by 100. Cooldown: 90 sec
Iron Skin (Supportive)
Temporarily increases Abnromal Status Resistance and Elemental Resistances.

That's why they don't stack.
Ignis Roar (Supportive) The Merc skill in question

Summons the power of the Fire Spirit to greatly increase your ATT for a time. Permanently increases Avoidability. Also increases Attack Power when using linked skills.

20% final damage to a class that's already admitted to being better stacked endgame?
Hayato doesn't need it. I did agree to the toggle on damage reflect btw.
The idea was some %att since the skill already give %att for each stack, and the skill doesn't even refresh every stack you get, mercedes one at least refresh the duration if you want to quick get 10 stacks.
Also
there's
these
counter
points.
I know, this skill is complete useless and hardly even worth using it, that's why i wanted it to be more usefull, why make a skill that nobody will even use in first job(when you get the skill)...the idea would be %attack maybe since it's what it gives today, it could be a smaller bonus as long it's duration isn't so low, i also mentioned how they could make it more releated to the points in the sword bar Hayato have and use the beginning skill a litte more frequentely(at least for bossing), like if you spam the 1x1 skill frequentely(for Rai Sanrenzan) you gain more points.
I know he's overpowered, but mostly for the end game, i feel how without fundings hayato is like any class, they could give a cap of 300%extra dmg for Hayato, he would still be powerfull, but balanced, yet nexon will mostly likely do nothing and prefer to buff all other jobs.
And honestly, since status resistance was nerfed, making the two stack is hardly as OP as it could be.
Stacking elemental resistance with elemental resistance sounds pretty busted when you can reach 100% when considering physical is an element you can resist. If you changed the Resistance of Iron Skin or of God of Blades to balance the stack, fine. Leaving them as is but stacking anyways? No. I don't mind fixing a skill, but demanding two skills to stack for convenience is not a fix.
