I think the fastest way to fix the abilities is to just fix the current stat system and base damage of skills. There will always be a "Strongest" build and path in alpha, where the systems are still under development.
That being said, having the enemy go first in every fight unless you focus on initiative and wit gets a little boring. It tends to force me into making a bullet sponge always lead the charge because nobody influential will ever get to go first. The Void boss with skeletons REALLY brought this to my attention. The undead are almost always characterized as being sturdy and slow, and yet they go before my scoundrel with 16 initiative?
