This thread is full of win.
Probably why it's not getting the hundreds of responses that threads full of controversy get...
With the nerf to Rage, Savage Sortilege is getting really hard to get value out of. Spending the talent, for only half crit chance, and crits only do 50% more damage, it's just a bum deal these days. If not using Rage, you wouldn't want to get the talent early, cause you'd have no Crit, and you wouldn't want to get it late, cause you hadn't been stacking crit. There's never a point where picking up the talent is a good decision.
I'm not a fan of spending a talent just to unlock what should be a core feature. Savage Sortilege and Backstab are both glaring culprits of this.
+1.
Much prefer the ice king and demon and talents that truly change your character. I think they should remove bigger and better and all skilled up too. Generic talents are boring.
If they want to keep backstab as a talent, they need to seriously improve it's scope and the implementation of dagger fighting in game. 100% accuracy + guaranteed crit? (is it already 100% accurate?)
Savage Sortilege could be a spell crit magnifier, or a spell crit AP generator (similar to warlord?) but spells should have crit chances and wits should effect spell critical. Perhaps even twice the base critical chance bonus currently applied on wits.
