[QUOTE="Bayuer, post: 4970142, member: 61817"] @brassbaboon I don't understand one "gold rule" about WotC. What they do isn't always well designed. We have plenty of such a individual examples: * Expertise feats - they said it's just temporary solution to fix the math * Epic Will, For, Ref - they didn't said it's solution but if expertise is, then this is too * Skill Challenges * Minions, Solos, Elittes, Brutes and Swarms... * Orb of Imposition and stacking of penalties * Battlerager and Dual Strike got big nerf after one year! This is absurd. * etc. There are many things that will be broken, unbalanced or must-have, but you must open you mind and look at those bad designed items and make them work as intended (to be a choic, not a must-have). WotC will at some point make crucial changes, but I will not make a bet on that. Bloodclaw, Reckless are very broken things, Righteous Rage of Tempus even after errata is broken, Cloak of Walking Wounded (I made it daily power), Cloak of Distortion (daily power again; used as minor action; work untile end of next turn). Iron Armbands etc. are now banned too. What do I have now? Balance?
