Just wondering why some abilities are there from the prior sylphs and some are omitted.
I got myself a Freya after months of saving small recharges here and there to do so. Was really disappointed to find that a lot of basic skills aren't available - in particular, there are no 1s CD skills available anymore. Without Gust Strike or Deluge Strike being there, it really takes away from being able to do repeat damage without wasting multiple skill slots to fit in skills with 5s or 10s CDs.
I probably should have researched it better. I'd have probably gone for a Loki/Odin.
Also, while Tyr/Thor & Loki/Odin merges gave a few quality skills some love (many existing damage skills increased on merge), it seems the Freya/Frigga merge didn't. Only 1 Damage skill was increased, and that was Tsunami from 145% to 195%. Even worse, the passive Master of Water that pairs with the Water Delphic - Archon Wave to have a % chance of a Stun Effect is gone too. So Delphic actually got worse by losing it's potential stun while not increasing in skill damage %.
Lastly, given how many KH Passives trigger on strikes / critical strikes, the removal of the double-hit Aquilon's Lament and the double-hit AoE Wind Delphic - Apocalyptic Hurricane is a fairly significant loss as well.
Don't get me wrong, in a Titan War / X-Server GB setup, as part of a team, I'll use my merged pet simply for the Steal & AoE Shield - but in CW? Looks like it's just going to be a troop since it's always going to get stuck in an eventual default-attack situation. Meh.
