I know right?! I expected those abbreviated subclasses to be removed on Day 1. And I'll never understand the hate for Drakewarden. I've never played it, but I'm reading through it right now and I don't see anything to complain about. Who doesn't want a dragon companion?

The hardest thing about a Survivor thread is letting go of the notion that the "best" option is going to "win" because that's usually not going to be the case. Most often, the one with the most points will get picked off in the mid-to-late portion of the game by people trying to protect (or avenge) their favorites. It's part of the fun!
Try to have two favorites on every list, and keep them 2 or 3 points behind the lead. Then when others start scanning the list for threats, your Darlings will be off their radar. This eventually breaks down as more and more options are eliminated, but it will usually let you get one Darling into the Top Three.

I just dislike giving a ranger a swarm of bugs to back them up it does not feel like a ranger.
