Yeah i agree i think the enchants are way overboard, the problem from what i gather is they beefed em up because people complained about the difficulty. So nerfing them too much would probably cause an outcry by a lot of people. At least we can choose to use or not use them.

If it is the enchantments creating the imbalance between the styles, my best suggestion would be to disable damage enchants on offhand weapons. I have not checked to see if that actually makes a big enough difference though. I never played the original ego draconis, so i don't really know how it was back then, but from what i have read it was still a bit unbalanced.

I still think the best approach is to increase bonuses to the other expertise skills though. That way you can choose a style you prefer and know you won't be gimping yourself. And then just make a choice if you are going to use the best enchants or not.
