Storm Beard SS --> S+

The Ranking Council decided to move Storm Beard down. His speed stat is below 3,500 so it's bad for a denier and his stats, in general, are pretty outdated. While his skills are pretty nice with an AoE Guard Down and the ability to CDA and Stamina Drain, he comes with even worse flaws. His skills have absurdly high stamina costs. For example, this is one of his best skills: Weigh Anchor (40 Special dmg + 100% Stamina Drain, 60s, 4 CD). 60s for a single enemy 100% stamina drain. His average stamina cost per move is about 43 stamina for the moves in his recommended moveset. That is extremely high. He has a very hard time combating this as well because only 1 of his relic slots can actually refill his stamina. Along with his high stamina costs, he also has high cooldowns on his best skills. This makes him very susceptible to CDA (the best denial form). Lastly, he only spreads 1 DoT in all of his skills. He is still a good denier due to his 2 different ways of denial (he isn't that great at stamina draining tho), but he has some very big flaws that hurt him from staying towards the top of the ranking.

S+ is still a good rank, so there is nothing to worry about.
