[QUOTE="Hawk Diesel, post: 6804514, member: 59848"] That's actually something that was discussed in a topic created by [MENTION=6788934]Einlanzer0[/MENTION]. Might wanna check that thread out for some ideas. As for this discussion, it seems like there are a few camps. One camp believes the Champion is meant to be a simple, elegant, class meant to ease people into the game or for those that don't want to track a lot. I get that.
