All the good points about FBs are only by virtue of their blade buffs. They have no silence/suppress without lightning blade, so you have to switch between buffs if you want to silence someone. FAs should get a silence skill too now that I think about it, their explosion shot skill s.
Anyway, if you have more penetration than the opponent has damage reduce, that penetration doesn't do anything. It's not quite as good as you might think.
Not losing any defensive stats does make it pretty good though. Still, I'd rather have BL's intense blade over the new penetration buff any day.
