So we have an Enchanter... but no Enchantments... we have telekinesis... but no psionics... we have a Loremaster that can be drooling idiot and won't be any worse for it.
Are you noticing any kind of disconnect here?
The Class they have set up for Cleric draws its strength from... strength. And that doesn't seem completely borked? Not at all? Not even a LITTLE TEENY BIT?
No, it seems fine to me. These are presets to give you rough ideas about different possible character builds. Would it be nice if there were say, more cleric-type skills, sure. But...
Demanding these changes in under 10 days before release is completely absurd, and simply not happening. The time for this kind of discussion was months and months ago. Even then, it might not have mattered, because Larian had to cut out Druid stuff like shapeshifting. They weren't even planning a Witchcraft school until near the end of the alpha.
Your reasoning for the changes is non-sensical.
"So we have an Enchanter... but no Enchantments"Again, what are "Enchantments"? The Enchanter is the name of a mage preset which focuses on status effects and controlling battles instead of dealing direct damage.
"we have telekinesis... but no psionics..."What are Psionics? Why, in your mind, does telekinesis ONLY make sense if that's in the game?
"we have a Loremaster that can be drooling idiot and won't be any worse for it."I'm not sure how much you actually PLAYED the game, but Intelligence starts out at five MINIMUM, you can't get to 4 without being debuffed. Your abilities determine what you specialize in. Regardless of Intelligence, someone who specializes in Loremaster has specialized in ID'ing items and monsters. Is this just another one of your "I don't like the name of the thing" nitpicks?
