Exhaulted Blade's stance attacks are rubbish, they are less DPS than if you just spam attack because they're slower to perform and offer very little damage increase per attack. Not even the free blind on slide is worth much because you should be using Radial Blind anyways.

I've played this game for 3 years and all I do with him is spam attack and press 2 every 10 or so seconds. It's his rubbish design that's at fault not the player using him. I'd Slash Dash burst if I didn't crit harder than a Tonkor already.

He's nowhere near balanced, Only a Mirrors Mirage rivals his AoE DPS. Nothing else even comes close. You can litterally keep other players from playing the game with him. 60% + 45% mitigation isn't low survivability either, esp with a CC on hand. with 40m attack range and instant lifesteal. As a non meta-group frame, he's completley OP.
