if you're not actively trying to take down a PC's concentration, you're missing out on a key tactical element of the game. It took me a while to realize it, but concentration blitzing consistently takes the power edge away from caster types.
As a DM, my players don't use a lot of concentration spells in the first place.
I don't think you know what "feat tax" means.Who loves a feat tax?

If every member of a class had to take the feat in order to be effective, it would qualify as a feat tax. But since you don't have to cast concentration spells in the first place, you don't have to take the feat.
Would you also claim that Great Weapon Master is a feat tax on fighters, even though many fighters do not use two-handed weapons?
Most evokers will never bother with the feat because their focus is on damage, not spells with a duration.I'm sorry, but it is a feat tax. Considering a good majority of the spells require concentration, and none of the spellcasters are proficient with constitution, it's a pretty big requirement. Especially when the only alternative is never casting 80 percent of available spells because they have that stupid concentration mechanic stapled to it.
