Hi,
My main point stands. It's not fine for other classes to be boosted to the moon and for rangers to be cemented into a second class role.
For what it's worth, I also think the current implementation of Holy Sword is a mess. As the OP pointed out, not only is it too powerful, it's causing problems with rebalancing other classes too.
Hopefully the developers will grow some stones and do something about it one of these days. Taking months to admit that it's "overperforming" and then letting it fester is super lame.
Thanks.
