I've been following some of these discussions on True Reincarnation and I have to say the idea is awesome (since I suggested something similar on the wow-forums 4 years ago, when I first got bored with lack of content at lev 60, I really do think the idea is awesome).
I'm psyched about upgrading my 12/7/1 Mage/Nun/Thief-cyborg build to a 34 point wunderkind, since wisdom is one of my dumpstats for the build, this will be a huge boost for me.
However, the 2nd TR isn't really that exciting at this point, which is a shame (were it up to me, there would be no limit to TR's, where each would grant 2 statpoints and an icecream, oh well, no never ending story).
Could I humbly propose that you made one small (insignificant really) boost to the 2nd TR.
* Change the 2nd TR's level cap to 21.
That would grant a few hp, sp and ki, 4 ap and oh yeah ... one ... extra ... feat ... (Sir, the nerds rampaging, something has them in a frenzy.)
Small change but I would definately go all the way for the feat (is feat-loving a fetish?).
I wont touch the subject of past life feats much, since that horse is being well taken care of in the other threads. But my comment is, they are mostly not worth it, certainly not in the multi builds I'm looking at.
If I should rank the components the go into planning a build on value:
1 - Feats
2 - Class levels
3 - Ability Scores
4 - Enhancements
5 - Skill Points (low int. builds would treasure these more)
The past life feats as they are would be fine...if they were free. I saw a moderator comment that they were considering making the past life feats work as prereq's for prestige classes.
That would be very cool, I imagine planning a build for the 2nd TR, going through a dominating mage build in one of the incarnations to get the past life prereq feat for a future arcane archer.
Thats it,
feat-lover out...
