Generally speaking I like the change to imbue dice, though it has slightly nerfed a couple of my characters who didn't have an imbue. On the other hand, I don't generally gel so much with "proper" caster type builds & that free LR+3 heart has let me switch out a casting based druid I was trying out to a fire elemental form melee falconry build that plays more like a nature-based warpriest or EK which is a lot of fun, especially with the change to bird attacks too.

I'm liking the extra HPs in heroics & my EKs being able to cast at range again is great, though now I need to figure out how to squeeze enlarge spell in there somewhere. My archer ranger has a bit more durability too which is nice, though there's still no competence bonus in deepwood stalker which is annoying as it caters to melee as well as ranged, I think it should get the lower 15% boost like EK as a compromise.

Thanks for having me on!

Actual thoughts:

- Talking about the reaper pass, I had the absurd idea that you should consider adding some kind of bonus or whatever for killing the actual reapers... not sure why, it just seems like a cool monster like that would yield something.

It IS enabled.

You only have so long (30 mins maybe?) to do it, though.

There is.

For example, I no longer have the option available to delete my previous post.

This must be subforum specific here because can delete from general over a month ago

Very possible.
