Yeah there’s the thought it could be the Sepulcher tier bonus that made Strike cleave, since Outlaw got their Sepulcher tier bonus as an apex node which honestly, I wouldn’t hate as long as its just that part and not the random Blades proc. Makes it a bit redundant with Nimble but they can just remove that from Nimble and tweak numbers if they need to.
I’m personally hoping apex allows a cadence of 2x Dance for Blades and 1x between because I feel like that’s a fair middle ground. Still allows 1.5min windows to be bursty but not at the expense of no damage in between. But I do think allotting more damage to Dance itself vs needing the combo of Dance+Blades to carry damage is a better compromise with the design direction they want to go in so if apex enables that as well, I won’t be terribly upset
