When they are in form:

You can't steal from them

You can't do koteagaeshi or kansetsuwaza

You can't do weapon-reliant skills against them (Templar moves come to mind)

Innate haste, special form skills, and eventually access to the best damage reduction in the game.

They are far less gear dependent than other classes.


I just don't see them needing any more love; to me it's like saying all healers should be deathful, and pickpocket thieves should rack up pk wins.
