[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 9390630, member: 6801228"] And you can still choose to do that, or you can reflavor them to match. Instead of the spirit of the Salmon, you can channel the Tiger's swim speed instead. But I think you make a point without realizing it. That was the concept of the Totem Warrior. This is the Wildheart, and it is a little different. A half step to the left. You might as well say the Illusionist is a terrible concept because in 2014 the illusionist didn't include the concept of summoning a shadow creature as part of the subclass, but now in 2024 it can. Not because semi-real illusions are never a thing seen in the trope of illusionists... but because they wanted to expand the concept a bit, change the focus. No, it isn't. That is not what he literally said. What he literally said was that in the 2014 version, there were two good options and a bad option at the levels for the Hunter. And that they decided to focus on just making sure you had the two good options and polishing them. He didn't say "[I]and we did this because we are too incompetent to have ever balanced three options[/I]" It was a conscious choice of how to focus the redesign. You not liking that doesn't mean they were too incompetent to make a different decision. No, it isn't. You are just making things up because you don't like the choices they made. Which are [B]CHOICES [/B]not a result of being unable to design classes. [/QUOTE]
