The point of faststrike on banedragon is so that purifiers won’t skip behind him to purify. If they do skip then the get fast strike on a stick. 1 second faststrike always did a ton of damage. Way more then enough for bane to kill a purifier. Reverting that will not change the effectiveness of bane’s faststrike.
All the poison legends are countered by purifiers not just bane.
*facepalm* 
dude no offence but i think you dont even know the skillset of banedragon, he don’t even have ‘poison touch’ of 50 TU that would be equal to purify and then their time gap would eventually be below 10, bane only have 1 active i.e. dual poison touch (and ofc toxic entrance passive) and it is 70 TU so it is most likely that the time difference would almost always be greater than 10 TU. There is a difference between countering and completely shutting down man.
And what about ‘skipping behind’ , it is utter nonsense 
dont you know sir that if a purifier(or any other monster) skips and then I skip then purifier won’t be able to skip anyway (and in PVE is not likely to use skip either)
I really am curious why is everyone so upset about FS buff , isn’t chorozeros not being counter able is all your concern? Then just have it’s stun immunity removed and speed decreased, problem solved.
Just on that basis you can’t have bane users suffer as bane is effective yet easily counter able and FS nerf would make him weak and FS was his last move and isn’t it supposed to be the highlight of every legendary ? Other legendary poison monsters have knock back but it is effective only because they have auto poison to follow with it and if devs listen to you then bane would have none!
What I mean about skip ahead is that when it is your turn, you skip, then the opponent will skip. Then you can faststrike the purifier. If they purify, then you can skip behind them again if they are next, or you can skip behind the next monster if they are close to the purifier and then faststrike the purifier for a bunch of damage. It isn’t there to be banedragons main sweeping move, it is there to mindgame your opponent into messing up so you can kill their purifier. If they use some other move, then dual poison touch the purifier and something else and kill it dead. You aren’t supposed to use dual poison touch after you skip. Only after their purifier is dead.
Nerfing faststrike will not effect bane. The buff didn’t either.
Removing stun immunity won’t stop him from sweeping due to most chrono lineups having leogeist or stun absorbers. Faststrike needs a nerf. Reducing speed will not stop the timestrike all sweeps or faststrike giveturn spam. It would just make it so that he has less targets to kill.
The last move is not always the highlight of the legendary. The only thing burnsalot gets when you evolve him is hold ground. If it was supposed to be the highlight then the poison legends would have poison massecre instead. Or they would only get auto poison on ultra.
It isn’t his main sweeping move but it is so that cause of it purifiers can no longer play tag with him and if they do he would then “Kill It Dead” just like you said but sir if they don’t skip and continue skipping and his other monsters let’s suppose are at lower TU to intersept your skip(which mostly happens) or at much greater TU to even interfere either way the gap would mostly be greater than 20(cause double PT has 70 TU) and if even it works at end like you said it would be wasting too much time skipping continuously behind purifiers and all that to “kill it dead” a single purifier
About leogeist not everyone has that and everyone having same monster (chronozeros) was one of the complaints, and even if they do it can always be knocked back.
And all I want to say now is if everyone still wants to nerf FS , its ok but please don’t make it the way it was before just decrease its potency just by a little bit if you absolutely have to, otherwise leave it be and just nerf chronox only.
The issue rn is that fast strike one shots at 65 sec gap for Bane and Chronozeros on non tanky monsters. That’s a bit much and outside of the crit sparking range of the move itself.
Additionally, Chrono is fast and stun immune, which lets it kill things it has no business killing, and early without response usually.
You don’t hear about bane fast strike much in PvP because he is much much more of a double poison eater threat. If you don’t neutralize him quickly it’s usually GG.
So just reducing the gap would do I guess then, and that is my whole point ‘reverting back’ is a no go , just make it more appropriate by settling for something in between the previous state and buffed state. So let’s end this conversation and wait to hear from devs .
And thanks to zard for teaching me how to ‘kill purifiers dead’ anyway ty all and proceed further if you may but I guess it is settled since almost everyone agreed that nerfing has to be done and let’s leave the specifics to devs.
Best way is to replace fast strike…nerfing it will affect other legendary which have fast strike as well…Shall see what the devs have in plan…
The 1 other legend banedragon?
hopefully they wount touch him
Ya think that Banedragon is one of them…not sure if there are others though…><"
There aren’t.
