Bumamgar : thank you very much for your post, it was well written and well thought out and if it is indeed the mindset of the devs, I can certainly live with that.
I would appreciate some guidelines though as to what they're actually planning to do with all the nerfs and changes all the way through velious.
For example, manastone dropped and then was removed as a certain time line was respected. However, dots stack with themselves and their lower versions, something that didn't come along until much much later, so the timeline was not respected.
Is it because of a mechanics issue that it's much more simple to remove an item than to rework stacking of dots, and that we should expect a nerf to dot stacking once they get around to it? Or are we to understand that it will use the current mechanics and leave it alone?
What about items that were changed (for the better), like the Singing Steel (bard armor). It originally had useless effects like summon food and another selo's, but then was changed to Levitate, fear, and on the BP a 100 point heal. Will they follow a timeline since it's relatively easy to code, or will they use the final effect (retuned) that should have been on there since day one?
It would be nice if the 'vision' (tm) was made clear.
cheers
