Was LS/Critical Hit ever nerfed or toned down? I remember ABC archers use to be popular. It doesn't seem to me to be the same. I remember being able to Honor, EoO, and LS doing alot more damage.

Now it seems to get the same effect it's Honor, EoO and AI to get the same effect.

ABC archers are still very popular :)
As i recall LS critical strike got nerfed in 2 ways, the chance to inflict CS, and the hci bonus got lowered to 45, unless your target was under the effect of HLA, then it would remain at 50.
Most archers that pickup bushido do it mostly the honor bonus.
CS scales with bushido, and at 120 bush you get 20% chance to inflict it.
I think the damage from CS is still not bad. DPS wise u are better off with either chaining AI, or DS, assuming u have the mana todo so.

Publish 71 doubled the mana cost from 5 to 10... Though with most suits today you can't hardly tell the difference.

I believe in the very beginning LS used to 1) ignore the 45 HCI cap, and 2) be able to stack with other specials.
