Hope so!
The sheath concept being reworked for a 16th class would have the benefit at least of sidestepping entirely the sigh-inevitable āomg sheath was better than thisā should they start designing some other ability. Neednāt necessarily be same graphics, or be for a katana class, though it does have good synergy with heavy armour so maybe it could be the first ability for a 7th weapon type (axe?) as thatād open more possibilities for other loot, too, rather than keeping on overloading the existing weapons with more UTs.
It was one of the original Wild Shadow design fundamentals that the game doesnāt enforceably split up friends based on things like their character/rank so I wouldnāt like to see them go down this route.
