[QUOTE="Sword of Spirit, post: 6623080, member: 6677017"] I agree that that [I]might[/I] be the way the class was intended, but I'm just not sure. For tome and chain, yes. For blade, it sure seems to me that it is supposed to make melee combat a competitive option (and when you take into account opportunity cost investment required, probably a better option). This is one case where I'm not sure I actually want to know what the designers were thinking. I have a lot of respect for the quality of their work, but in this case I would not be surprised if they said something to the effect of "pact of the blade can come out on top if they use [I]armor of agathys[/I]", which would just disappoint me and demonstrate that they haven't realized their goof. What I'd rather hear would be something like, "pact of the blade is intended to be the best combatant, and we're considering adding some options in the future to make that more evident." Well, actually that's not exactly want I want to hear--that's just mimicing the types of things Mike or Jeremy are likely to actually say. I'd [I]rather[/I] hear, "Yeah...we kind of didn't hit what we were going for on that. We're working on some optional fixes." [/QUOTE]
