[QUOTE="tiornys, post: 5096098, member: 17633"] My group of well coordinated characters who had numerous choices to promote inter-character synergy found epic-tier play to be more grindy and less fun without the expertise feats than with the expertise feats. Difficulty was largely unaffected. Our conclusion: the effect of expertise improved our game experience. Yay anecdotal evidence! The reason the argument rests on "theory-craft" is because that's the only solid ground from which to argue game design and development issues. For every anecdote promoting one side, you can find someone whose experience differs. We know the original design intent was to extend the sweet spot across all 30 levels. We know the math does not remain constant across all 30 levels. We know we were given feats that a) are suspiciously powerful when compared to other feats and b) happen to make the math a lot more constant across all 30 levels. Those are facts. Draw whatever conclusion you want from those facts. t~ [/QUOTE]
