Really silly argument. I mean you point out Golembane as niche, but praise the chance-based 0 damage on Generals. When do Generals have issues with defenses?
Sacred Stones has 7 skills and it couldn't even make all of them useful. You didn't mention Sure Strike, for example. Chance to not miss on the next attack - on Snipers of all things. A CHANCE.
Meanwhile Fates has
>Wary Fighter: stop all doubling on both sides
>Shelter: can be used to set up multiple dances with Azura
>Life and Death: +10 damage to both sides
>Heartseeker: -20 avoid to adjacent enemies
>Lunge: swap positions with the enemy
>Certain Blow: +40 hit on initiation
>Replicate: make fucking two of yourself
>Movement +1: self-explanatory
>Lifetaker: recover 50% HP after battle
before even getting into the more vanilla +damage skills that are unglamorous, but highly useful
I'm convinced anons seethe at modern skills not because they're worse than what we had before, but because they just don't like them deep down. It's too much for them.
