Gentle Fist

[Kanpeki]

Since people are often talking about nerfing/reworking this mastery I thought I'd give my input on what I think could be a good change for the mastery. Most people have an issue with the fact that even though you use Sub, a portion of the Flicker combo from Gentle Fist still goes through.

A good way to change this would be to give Mountain Crusher a cast time but in return make Vacuum Palm instant cast. This makes it so that when someone Subs Palm Bottom you are not able to instantly combo in another jutsu like you can with Mountain Crusher since it is a homing, but it still allows you to Flicker combo normally if your Palm Bottom does land.

It would also shift Gentle Fist into requiring more aim as a mastery since your main jutsu would become Vacuum Palm which is a projectile. A big downside of this is that Gentle Fist would only have 1 instant cast CC so it would become fairly risky to Flicker combo, but I think that instant Vacuum Palm would lead to more fun gameplay for the mastery.

Makes sense. Treating Vacuum Palm as a projectile is the right move.
Nerfing Gentle Fist like this would be a good fix in the long run. Interesting post.
