Dirty little secret in Thid is that Thrust is OP.
This happened when bleeds became stack-able.
It is so bad that some some tanks use a 2.2 speed dirk.

Sure... I made a thrust Pala to take advantage of that... but others did it too.
And....... it just seems wrong.

I think a slight bump to Pierce and a slight nerf to Thrust would be nice.
I am not suggesting anything major. Just small tweaks to make it more fair.
Here is what I think it should be (Changes in red):

Albion Thrust

Puncture (lvl 6):
To Hit Bonus> 10
Defense Bonus> 0
Requirement> Anytime
Growth Rate> 0.32
Endurance> 15 . . . . . . Change to 10
Bleeding, 3, 20 sec . . . Change to Nothing extra

Bloody Dance (lvl 12):
To Hit Bonus> 10
Defense Bonus> -5
Requirement> After Puncture
Growth Rate> 0.67
Endurance> 10 . . . . . . Change to 15
Bleeding, 4, 25 sec . . . Change to Bleeding, 5, 20 sec

Hibernia Pierce

Black Widow (lvl 12):
To Hit Bonus> 5
Defense Bonus> -5 . . . . Change to 0
Requirement> Anytime
Growth Rate> 0.41
Endurance> 15 . . . . . . Change to 10
Nothing extra

Sidewinder (lvl 18):
To Hit Bonus> 10
Defense Bonus> 0 . . . . . Change to -5
Requirement> After Black Widow
Growth Rate> 0.71
Endurance> 10 . . . . . . . Change to 15
Nothing extra . . . . . . . . Change to Bleeding, 4, 24 sec

What do you think?

Yep, I know...
Nothing big here.
It is not supposed to be big.

The cumulative change in the 2 style chain for Alb is -2 bleed and for Hib it is +4 bleed.
That is not game breaking... the game is pretty good so we don't need a big change here.
It does matter though. Probably more than you think.

I have gotten up to 42 bleed damage per tick on Paladin (@ +3/+4 bleed dam) which is more than the base damage.
So, a slight nerf is really needed.

Also, Hib melee can use a buff... even if only to make leveling easier.

And, For traditionalists... you can ignore the other changes it you like.
It is the bleeds that matter... the rest is just me being me.
