My thoughts on Mod 5 doomsaying (With apologies to Ruyard Kipling)

[Devonian]

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can Build - and not make Builds your master;
If you can Raid- and not make Raids your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to justify a Nerf,
Or watch the Toons you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"

If you can post on these Forums and keep your virtue,
Or talk with Noobs - nor yet hate them quite so much,
If neither PUGs nor Guild drama can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute,
With 60 seconds worth of well earned fun,
Yours is the Game and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a man, my son!

Doom is all around you, dont you see?
Update 5 will nerf many of thee.
But do not wallow and quit in rage,
For there are ways to fix your blades.
DDoor is nerfed, or so they say,
So I might get it swapped out in order to play.

There once was a holiday where speed was art,
And in participating, I got a +3 heart.
I told myself that someway it would make me rich,
And now I can see my dream may not ditch.
But that does not mean all will end well,
Because our day of destiny may not raise hell.

The fates of many are sealed, or so they say,
Update 5 will nerf so many away.
But don't be afraid of the end of the game,
For you still have control and can re-take your aim.
It will be expensive to retry when your build is slain,
But at least hope will always still remain.
Hope is the most powerful weapon of will,
For it cannot be nerfed and can help you chill.

And - which is more - you'll be a man, my son!

Why would I want to be a man?

Why would I want to be a man?
