(Please don't nerf the damage that body strikes do; working the body should still be a very legitimate tactic when landed "realistically" --- I have the faith!)

I agree. I've been staying away from the whole body hook discussion because i don't know how i feel about it yet.

On one hand, i've been able to KO ppl consistently that try it. But on the other hand, it is annoying to see them throw these lazy punches over and over and not get a stamina tax.

Adding more stamina tax to blocked/mixed strikes overall is the best solution i feel as others have said. Don't nerf the effectiveness of cleanly landed body punches.

I'm almost certain they are going to be over nerfed.

But we'll find out soon enough.

I'm not above back tracking the nerfs a bit if it proves to be problematic.

Problem is I can't do what I want in a live tuner set, so we have to be a little ham fisted until patch time on occasion.

I hope you are not gunna go to the extreme and just make them worthless.

I think there great for stopping people always coming forward and just ducking down. I’m a lil worried when you say something like that.

ahhhh now I'm nervous lol

As long as the following aspects of body shots remain the same it shouldn't be too much of a problem. Generally I only use body strikes one at a time, and I don't think anyone thinks that single body strikes are OP or broken.

* Damage to Body Health

* Chance for Liver Event

* Long-Term Stamina Drain When Hit By Clean Body Shot

The following are what *should* be targeted for nerfing

* More Long Term Stamina Drain For Blocked And Missed Strikes (all-around, but specifically body shot)

* Improved ability to Clinch or Score Successful Takedown when someone is in your face, toe-to-toe pressuring you, and you catch them in the middle of a combo

* Bit more penalty (speed, stamina, power, or all 3) for throwing a 3rd or 4th consecutive body strike, especially if it's an 'unnatural' body strike

Fingers Crossed Just hope my Counter Left to the Liver won't be nerfed to oblivion ;(
