Not really.
Everything Steel has said in discord still suggests that Tempest needs to be nerfed. Despite the fact that almost nobody runs them anymore.
He is also somehow still wrong on inquisitive. Mech as the secondary tree and a rogue icon does net the most damage, but that is from the 12 or so sneak dice it gets from levels and a feat, mech tiers and core tacks on the other 4.
For the 28 AP spent in mech it gains 9 damage, 4 sneak dice, 10 rp. Hardly in need of any nerfs here.
Battle Engineer for 26 AP is 9 damage, 2 seeker, 10 ds, 10 rp.
Kensei is 14 damage, 4 seeker, 4 ds, and 8 damage from power surge.
What is going to end up happening if Steelstar nerfs Mech tree is a simple migration to a Kensei icon, or BE becomes the secondary tree on a rogue shell, using spell for int to damage.
