[QUOTE="Kishin, post: 3095605, member: 40956"] Hyperbole is obvious and intentional exagerration. Ending your post with 'insane overpowered broken broken broken" sounds like pretty deliberate exagerration, especially when coupled with your earlier statements, which ring much the same. Also, when using the terms 'significantly better' and 'as potent' to create a comparison between two other builds already known to be overpowered, you imply the same. Crunching a few numbers never hurts. I've seen and read other detailed analyses. Its your analysis that I'm curious about because it is the one being used to directly support your argument. 1) Monkey Grip is terrible and inefficient. 2) You're still very vague on the capabilities of the Druid. No, shouting 'insane overpowered broken broken broken' is hyperbole, especially when you're not providing reasoning that solidifies your argument as more than exaggeration. the +100 damage of Strike of Perfect Clarity falls on one attack, and it isn't a Druid's place to be competing with that level of damage in one blow unless he's wildshaped into something ridiculous. As for Avalanche of Blades...Let's assume your Warblade had a +34 or so on his/her highest attack roll. (The Warblade from the GenCon Delve had a +34) Avalanche of Blades would have worked out like this: 34/30/26/22/18/14/10/6/2. Was your Warblade really hitting a monster at that CR with attacks at +14, +10, +6 and +2? That strikes me as highly unlikely. The post in question was condescending and offensive. There wasn't much civility to be found there beforehand, and I seldom expect it to surface afterwards. This is no excuse, but still. The floodgates had already been opened, and polite disagreement was already forfeit. [/QUOTE]
