In specific higher levels, because I've personally seen it several times through low to mid levels. (And without playtesting IMO people's opinions are just that, opinions, based solely on conjecture. Interesting and fun, but ultimately not very informative). Now, as for actual playtesting experience, like I said I’ve seen it in play up to mid levels. At low levels it’s nice, it gets better up to mid levels, at which point it seems to plateau, and even seems to decrease in power from levels 10 to 15. I don’t know how they play from 15+, I’ve never seen it… however from what I have seen it seems likely that it loses power rapidly.So MY question, is that decrease in power after level 12 or so an illusion? Or is it just that it stops increasing in power at the same rate, and that’s when other builds are catching up? IS the playstyle viable for all 20 levels? What about epic progression? (Actually that doesn’t matter very much to me, I don’t like epic progression, but I’m still curious).</blockquote>
