	I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.

Shit ton of bards this season. Not to mention Strimtom's ass went and made the 3/17 air savant bladeforge build that channeled a bunch of low hanging fruit players to spam sonic blast to cap.

	Binkey wrote on Aug 24^th, 2022 at 9:00pm: Just wizards really, and they suck at low levels even with sonic blast. If you can't make a sorcerer work with max/emp burning hands and acid spray SLA's with the +2 caster level robe then there's no hope. You can, it just sucks compared to sonic blast because sonic blast is a standard 30ft AOE while flaming hands/acid spray has a very short conal AOE. Its like, 5ft or so i believe? Basically melee range. Of course, if you have tons of past lives, you can just power through the lower levels anyway with a 2H weapon or whatever, but its just not fun to play. And it screws over new players.

	Tbf though they did sprinkle in the heroic completionist Feat as auto-grant. Mass FoM and TS are okish as QoL. The experimental tumble looks interesting and all levels of Abishai changing from artifact to profane is a nice change. Mostly not needed but still.

That's the thing: they sprinkle in just enough good changes to keep the Stockholm Syndrome-addled veterans coming back for more. It's just enough good stuff that the Turbine asslickers will still run apologetics for them. Even though the update introduces far more bad than good, it's just enough that the Turbine brownnosers will indignantly tell everyone else "hey now, the update is good enough, the rest of you guys are just ungrateful! Suck it up, noobs." And then Turbine will listen to these sycophantic clowns, not change anything, and roll out the update anyway. We repeat this cycle update after update until the game dies.

I'm not sure if I've ever seen this much negativity towards an update. Even the normal bootlickers seem to think it's a waste of time. From the looks of it, nobody likes the proposed changes to any of it except the autogrant, which means SSG will plow on regardless of what the people who pay their bills think.

And that's not even bringing on the piece of shit that's the Shitty Fist. No Divine Might without multiclassing, no feat like STP in the tree where KOTC had Knight's Training, garbage T5s (improved evasion on a Paladin is a goddamn joke) and they put fucking *Radiant Servant* in place of Vanguard. Like holy shit, if you are insisting on putting a Cleric Tree on Shitty Fist why not put on Warpriest? Oh wait, that would still allow your shitty monk ripoff to have Divine Might somewhere.

I would agree that as a T5 its a joke, but the Sacred Fist doesn't get any armor proficiency except cloth so its actually usable.

	hardcore server is a testing ground to see what abilities are over represented and rape them, sonic blast is only changing because of its utility being observed by people who dont play the game (devs)

Sacred Paladin was the perfect opportunity to make them be punchy monks but with medium/heavy armor. There's literally no reason, other than Lynntard (a.k.a Sailas) being a dipshit + lazy, to not let them have it. Paladin doesn't even get stances, so what the actual fuck they need to be centered for? Instead she adds the "cloth" armor to sacred defender upgrades while centered. Jesus H. tapdancing christ. Also, no Divine Might trance lol. Talk about "tone deaf".

But don't worry, Paladins get all those awesome Ki attacks from Henshin Mystic as spells Seriously, all Sacred Fist will be is the 'oh look, more HA' past life.

Also, no Divine Might trance lol. Talk about "tone deaf". Honestly; the defensively centered while wearing medium armor should go to the stupid ass Razorclaw. Lynabel was harping about how you could finally play an unarmed barbarian in grandmaster; while not being actually centered for trying to get the most use out of the tree. Radiant Fist should get something weirdly unique, options include: Being able to equip an orb and using it an unarmed weapon. AKA: Force DR punching. If we're going with the cloth applies for shit; then toss cloth applies as being a shield for the purposes of stances and destinies. Hell, could even give it something to make your armor enchant bonus apply as a shield bonus as well for AC purposes. More spellslots to make use of having the new 'ki spells'.

Lynabel thinks that the Shifter Iconic allowed you to make a functional Handwrap Barbarian by using Grandmaster of Flowers. If by functional you mean sub optimal playing in casual/normal and completing a quest, then yeah it works.
