yea, I wish Moonlight Drive was a 3 hits too at least :/
Might sound weird, but Shadow Strike is one single hit partitioned in 3 instances with 3 different RNGs (each can hit, miss, be bloqued or crit). The damange of the 3 hits is dealt instantly as only one. If at least one of the 3 strikes connects it will give you 3 Combo Points.
In contrats, being a single hit with a single RNG, that sole strike will hit, miss, be bloqued or crit as a whole, and if miss, then no 3 Combo Points T____T
Oh well, thats a lot of QQ
Also, I did level a knight... don't play it much but, I gotta agree that Shield Cannon didn't feel worthy because it was 3 slow hits :/
