[QUOTE="Kichwas, post: 9083659, member: 891"] My initial impression was the new class was horribly unbalanced in a too powerful way. With the right impulses you can make some pretty insane builds. People have talked me down from that somewhat. It's likely you can't get all those "right" impulses and some of them are not as flexible as they seemed to me on first read. At this point I'm thinking it's probably balanced when thought of as a DPS Martial with a funny looking weapon, given that you can't get enough impulses to be a really good utility / support. Even getting enough to be a subpar utility will cost you some important pieces of your DPS chassis. That said, I do want to see how the larger community reacts once more people than just those of us with subscriptions have copies of the book. Once the 'numbers from the actual game tables' start coming in, where will the community stand. Given how PF2E thus far lacks a DPS caster, I would be very frustrated if Paizo ever tries to balance nerf this one, even if it does end up being too powerful. The role is too needed. [/QUOTE]
