[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 8384339, member: 7006"] As I said in a post some pages back... if a table is so cutthroat in combat that playing a Beastmaster Ranger or a 4 Elements Monk makes you suck so bad that your character's very survival is unlikely... then you are just S.O.O.L. with this game. Because WotC is NEVER going to get so granular and nitpicky in their math and balancing to make sure every single class and subclass and variant is so completely balanced to one another that every combination is exactly the same in terms of power. And if you hang around the game and keep waiting / hoping / expecting it to happen... you are going to make yourself miserable. Which is fine. Be miserable if you would like. But if someone then comes on the boards here complaining about it repeatedly... I'm going to chime and state quite clearly that their misery is their own fault. And if they don't want to be miserable... THEY need to change, and not WotC. Cause WotC is beholden to hundreds of thousands of people, whereas that person is only beholden to themself. (Or of course, the person could also do a quite sensible thing like re-balance their Beastmaster Ranger or 4 Elements Monk themself if it matters that much to them. They know better than WotC what need to happen for those to be balanced with all the other stuff at their table after all.) [/QUOTE]
