Yes, this hurt many melee classes, but this has nerfed the Dragoon to a much higher degree. Not because all we know how to do is penta thrust spam, and not because we dont do damage without penta or something, but penta thrust the way it was had very good synergy with the other abilities of a dragoon. The great thing about the old penta was that you could do penta thrust > jump > high jump> 1 more hit to 100%tp > penta thrust > super jump to rid hate.
THis synergy is gone now. And as someone pointed out, many melee classes had these multi-hit WSs that we can spam nonstop, except for the need to control hate, but only DRG has super jump to get rid of hate. Now that we cant do penta thrust nearly as often., the importance and usefullness of super jump has just dropped to almost nothing. In essence, this multi-hit WS adjustment made one of our best job abilities pracitcally useless.
