Ah taking things out of context AND comparing apples to oranges all in one sentence. A Knight going from 17 to 18 strength and Monk going from 2x to 2x+1 dexterity are completely different scenarios, and that's before you ignore the fact the latter …

Well if they're not good, they're not overpowered, this quick fix was to eliminate overpowered defences. If they're not powerful defences but instead small gains that min/maxers like to put together for a bigger payoff using var…
It's a buff to offence and defence but we're kidding ourselves to say it's big.
So you're gaining a +2 weighted bonus to dexterity. That's +1 stat point, +1 stat point is a buff, but it's overblowing it to consider it a big buff. It …

This is the kind of stuff people should be encouraged to look for. Especially with clear CHELP (or even CGHELP) files telling you how to find this further information.
It's too easy to dodge criticism of the fact you handled the original list poorly as "Oh you're just kneejerking to a nerf" because unless you're employing selective reasoning you'll see several times where I've said this was something that did need…
If I'm going to Mana drain as a Knight (apart from the fact why would I?) there's already options available to me through lash or forcing clot with lacerates.
Also a lot of ibululu seems to get thrown around these days, not many people st…
You can't swoop in Crowform because you need the Crow Perch skill to be able to do it, Nightgaze/Nightkiss don't have that restriction. I understand what you're arguing, but you're missing my point. It's not that having all three skills together is …
Well some things need fixing because for the next 8-9 months (rough guestimate) there's still a game and people enjoy playing it, so it's nice to have some idea of balance.
This would of course require some envoys to actually nerf themsel…
Because it's pretty likely a lot of skillsets will change entirely with the combat overhaul so glaring issues with specs that people fixed with skillflex, won't exist anymore.

Before this change all defences remained, with Estarra saying that it was a benefit of skillflexing some time ago. This change has removed some of the buffs that were exceptionally strong outside of their spec, and 2-3 others th…
If the solution to make Crow appealing is to nerf other tertiaries to the same level as it, you'd be pretty much nerfing everything across the board for Knights except possibly Aeonics.
People shouldn't feel they have to be pigeonholed in…

At least there's a reason to try again now the old "This is balanced because Nightkiss/Skillflex is intended" reason no longer exists. Seriously a facelift to Crow and a revamp of Tracking are both opportunities here, might as w…
I'd love to see something regarding putrescent festering carrion infecting wounds, either doing more damage or making them harder to cu.. oh wait that's Deathweapon. Carry on.

Sure while we're at it let's bring down everything on that level of strength in the game, I'm sure we'll be better off without inqusition/trueheal/drawdown/full/most-things-monk/pyromeld/aeromeld/reality/ectoplasm/crucifixion/he…
The only way you're going to improve Crow without skewing it out too much for Druids to focus on, is to look at improvements that Knights will benefit from, balance speed, weapons and wounding (I'd say cutting damage but Wyrdenwood) and then possibl…
