They were 1 1/2 years too late to nerf Tonfas.

.GS gets evasions while charging

.Lance and Gunlance also should get a shorter frame of time between attack and guarding

.Hammer and SAF get super armor mid charge

.Bows get to bring extra coatings and combinables

Tonfas Jump Evade Frames are reduced, also reduced damage for short mode apparently. Air Evasion can be done twice now. Tonfa gets better skill effects(supposedly referring to longer Stylish Assault effect)

Consumption slayer eats less sharpness, obscurity gives more attack, stylish assault lasts longer for earth, ice age is easier to rank up, thunderclad is easier to charge up, status persuit is stronger overall.

Overall this has pissed of a number of Frontier players. With heaven style tonfas it made earth left out a little. Nerfing short mode in general is a screw up. Just gotta see how much this will impact tonfas in Z
