Assassin - Double Slash On/off Feature

[Phade]

Just curious on other players perspective on this. Why has double slash got an on/off feature? As i see no benefit in ever turning this ability off. I would expect having a feature of this type it would mean that it's circumstantial, beneficial to turn this off on some fights, situations? From what i have seen thus far it seems as though it's a bread & butter skill, which is fundamental to the class, so why not make it passive as opposed to having to turn it on all the time?

Thanks in advanced

Turn off to save mp during guild hunts if running low.

I burn through MP when i Haste, it's useful to toggle on/off during hunts if there a several sins attending.

Fair comment you can save mp when you turn it off. But surely you're just doing the guild a disservice if you switch your primary skill off. You barely tickle the mobs when you switch double slash off. Plus i would have thought you would have an abundance of mp on you in preparation for the hunt anyway as hp & mp regeneration on this game is very slow. At level 31 now i can easily carry 100 mp & hp at the same time ,which with solo hunting in st i can almost consistently grind for just over an hour.

I still can't see the big benefit with the on & off sorry

Walls are an integral part of boss fights like DD, and ZT still, maybe MK aswell aint worked that fight out yet. So turning of Double dash may make the grp slower but surviving till Kr is more important, and when hunting as a guild 3 full grps all going same way there is hardly a difference

I don't mind there being a toggle, but it would be nice for it to default to on. It's annoying having to remember to re-toggle it every time you log.

There may also be skills at a later level that you want to spam mp on. Like wars with HM even iff against 3+mobs will often just TDB them instead and have HM off.

Without DS I make funky dull thuds instead of hitting for damage, its disgusting sound and feel, also have no idea why its not always on.
