Lone Wolf's description hasn't been changed from last patch's, but its bonuses have been reduced...
Some players and I were discussing in chat that it's clearly better now to have another character than to invest in Lone Wolf.
I realize that before, its bonuses didn't quite stack up to make one of your guys equal two people. It was close-ish, but now...
+80% HP has been reduced to +60% HP. Very significant.
+2 max and recovery AP is now +2 max and +1 recovery.
Extra ability point per level presumably the same.
A player said a Lone Wolf will get an additional 19 ability points by max level 20. A separate character, however, will receive 44 by level 20 (levels 2-5: 1 point; levels 6-10: 2 points; 3 points thereafter). That's far more specialized in other areas your Lone Wolf isn't investing in.
Thoughts? I saw it as a not bad pick before that opened up interesting build possibilities. Actually, a big thing I got out of it was just managing 1 less character. But now, I don't think the trade-off is worth it at all.
