Stop Breaking Bushido and Just Nerf the Bokuto
The Bokuto is the Problem with bushido.
If stacked with a focus sash, you can get 100 damage in 1.25 seconds, plus it stuns, and it procs with a splinter. you only need to invest 60 tacts into the temp (plus bushido that gives you a ton of other stuff)
Move the bokuto to a two-handed weapon... Thx, or cap nerve strike at 15 damage.

If you want to fix the problem then you do something like "if character has over 60 of either magery, mysticism or spellweaving, then they can't nerve strike".
And I also don't completely agree with that either, there's a better way just no one cares. I see really great PVP ideas posted on some of these threads, completely ignored by any dev and never implemented.
BECAUSE THE TRUTH, YOU SEE, IS THAT THE DEVS ARE GOING TO DO WHATEVER THEY BELIEVE IS RIGHT WITHOUT COMMUNICATING WITH THE PVP COMMUNITY.
TO DEVS: You add a forum to your website so that you can have better communication with your users. There's even an option to add a poll. Why not poll PVP changes before implementing them. I'm not saying let that be the final word but at least take a minute and see what we think...
A one-handed weapon that only requires 60 tactics to hit for 55 damage & swings at 1.25 should not exist
Making it two-handed would also increase their parry chance for dexxers as well.. otherwise, use a pickaxe like any decent pvper.
the bok lets you pretty much kill anyone in two seconds.
Spamming NS doesn't do anything... so you must be talking about bokuto mages. A proper spell dump + nerve strike could probably kill someone in two seconds. The bokuto alone can't kill anyone in two seconds unless they're running around with 70 HP.

And that's just for the bonus damage from NS.
You have to also figure the actual weapon damage which is calculated by anatomy, tactics, and DI on your suit.
So it's 120 Bush, 120 Anatomy, 120 Tactics, 100% DI to do max damage with a nerve strike not to mention the 120 Swords you need in order to hit your target. That's 480 skill points and a lot of DI on your suit if you don't run it on your weapon.
@Del you've shown 0 knowledge of the subject you've brought up but still insist on changing.
1. Spell focusing sash does not boost the bonus damage from nerve strike.
2. Having minimum required Bushido skill does not yield maximum damage.
3. Having the minimum required Tactics (60) to perform a weapon special does not yield maximum damage.
4. You said it can stun and proc a splinter, but as soon as you take a splinter tick of damage you are no longer stunned.
5. Literally everything you said in this comment below is wrong. You have shown a misunderstanding of gaming mechanics and I'm unsure where you are pulling your facts from.
There's a plethora of information available to you through multiple websites. This is not hidden information - it is public. Your opinion was based on fighting a mage with a Bokuto yet your changes will affect more than just mages...
You got blown up by a spell focusing Bushido mage - there's nothing new here. The trick to avoiding this damage is to know when it's coming and either run off-screen before the dump happens or use some of the available defensive skills that are offered in the game: Feint, Evade, Smoke Bomb, Mana Shield, Run Away... Whatever you do, don't sit there and take the damage without interrupting them or using a defensive skill.
Maybe don’t run, stop running. We all know you can’t kill anyone as long as they are running in a straight line 24/7. Snowpiercer.

some cooldown for confidence should be considered
So nerf bokuto down to 2,5s base speed, most problems fixed.
'punish pvm' and he throws out a bokuto with 190 luck argument and nerve strike in pvm, lol whatever dude.
