Can we please delete the Focus skill?

I'm tired of it completely dictating my build since it feels so bad to play without. (especially with Swaxe)

Do you ever use the axe mode buff? Wild swing I think its called.

Yeah, but does that help in sword mode? I feel like it takes twice as long to power up without Focus.

It increases the meter fill rate in sword mode, I usually use morph attacks to refuel then morph back to finish the sword meter.

it does help sword mode, because the powered up axe mode refills your charge gauge faster than without, allowing you to stay in sword mode longer. More sword mode = more hits = more empowered sword mode

Doesn't seem that useful in wilds to me, even on CB SAED spam.

Axe mode buff is pitiful it's not worth the time spent swinging.

Power Axe literally halves charge time for SA phials.

OP, you should focus (ha) on Power Prolonger for SA over Focus. The longer lasting charge time is better than charging twice as fast.

I wouldnt mind Greatsword being naturally as fast as Focus lv 3 lmao

switch axe has more issues right now. part of the move set isn't used because all the dps on the weapon is tied to how many full release slashes you can pull off. focus is low priority and should just be dropped as you should be using power prolonger.

Given as this is the only core skill GS has, I'd say it's probably a bit too much, especially since GS is already too powerful in this game imo...

Focus is rubbish with Switch Axe in Wilds. The boost it gives to building meter is puny. Power Prolonger is much more important.

not enough, power prolonger is indeed better still.

axe mode doesnt buff frs + axe mode is 1-2 for gauge instead of morph spam.

As a Bow Main since 3U, I'd much rather you just stopped playing the game. I mean Focus might not be as essential as it used to be, but it is still a few thousand times more important to the series than you.

This^^^

But also, once you get into the "swing" of things you're going to want protective polish to maintain your sharpness after sharpening. I personally run maxed out grinder additionally, but that is just a me thing.

Chill out, this is probably a new player or at least someone branching out and trying switch axe for the first time.
