I LOL'd when I read this in the release notes:

Vistani Knife Fighter: The Enhancement Tree symbol currently matches the Harper Agent Enhancement Tree symbol.

Close fucking enough.

Mist Stalker V: Activate to gain +20% Dodge and Maximum Dodge, +30 PRR, and +30 MRR for 20 seconds. Cooldown: 60 seconds.

1v1 me bro.

I also guessed they'd have a CC ability somewhere in there.  I was almost certain they'd copy throat dagger over.  Instead they copied fan of knives.

Like I said, they've followed basically the same copy/pasted formula for all physical revamps since fighter.  The only difference has been what weapon you have to use.


Yeah.  Nice guess.   Grin

I see some potential. Assassin is a glass cannon anyway, might as well go full retard.

Disappointed there's no Aasimar option for +2 base WIS.  Would have been nice to finally have a heroic race with +2 WIS.  Apparently devs hate WIS builds unless you go Iconic and pay to LR the 1 level away.

Scourge Aasimar are missing and aren't listed in the known issues. Not holding my breath they'll be added.

No racial reincarnation benefits have been posted.

Would have been too much to have Blood of Vol to include throwing dagger as a favored weapon for FvS to use WIS or CHA to hit/dmg?  Apparently so.


Scourge was in the original preview document, but I suppose they got dropped due to time or lack of unique ideas. The devs did ask us for ideas for all three 'paths'.

And Blood of Vol is fucked from the start. The Blood is the Life only provides positive energy, it doesn't work on a racial basis. While warforged can cope, undead builds can't. I was severely disappointed when by vampire cleric couldn't self heal from this, same with Ravager Blood Strength and literally any self-heal that's came out in past 2 years. And really the Blood is the Life is a straight gimpy ability; it's like a temporary toggle for being a weird undead stated living being. I'd just like the vampirism to be a full fledged toggle and make the healing racially based.

I kind of love how they decided to shoot PMs in the foot from the start. "Want some PRR/MRR? Yeah, fuck you take a 25% penalty to self heals."

The best part is Lynn was in Discord saying "Breaking news, giving melee boosts to damage is cliche."

Because, you know, being creative with how you give bonus damage can't be done.

It's like they finished bards, barbarians, paladins and rangers and were like "Whew lad this shit is tough."

Then it came time to start planning fighters, rogues, monks and arti's and they were like, "Fuck it.  Melee/Ranged power, doublestrike, crit buffs, a 5[w] ability, sneak some dodge in somewhere.  Done!  Let's go get some taco bell."

Anyways...

My favorite part of all this though in cased you missed it:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnWcV9PrBcw&feature=youtu.be&list=PLzPthfI5h08_a...

TL:DW - Sev stating that they don't want to keep making stat to dmg/hit class specific and move most of it to racial/universal tree's.

So what do they do?

Make wisdom to hit uniquely FvS and then release a universal skill tree and a racial tree that doesn't have any stat to dmg/hit.

That's only the start too.

They get called out on it, Cordovan tells people not to be meanie heads then starts making snarky responses himself.  You have the white knight brigade show up and say that "Well you shouldn't take anything a dev says as set in stone..."

But even those trash pandas get shouted down by the people who know you should expect more.

If only they had someone...a community liaison or something. Someone whose job it was to keep people informed of what was going on, changing plans, and so forth...

Have you considered coordinating an AMA with Sev?  You're in a rather unique position to make it happen.

this is the exact tree they previewed today  Grin


Don't sell them short, they managed to get +1 crit threat and range in the tree twice!

But at least if you manage to know about the pre-order before it is gone you can buy the option with the tree, the race, and some other perks all in one bungle.  (sic)
  

No, let me be Frank.

I've had multiple RoSS rot just from doing the explorer points in Sands across multiple lives since it is exclusive.

I will not chone.

I did what I did intentionally and while my primary purpose was not to annoy the other Vaulties, I acknowledge that it was a side effect.


Smart people don't elicit "side effects."  They understand in advance the consequences of their actions.
