Guys, you don´t really understand tactician difficulty... Its supposed to be HARD, like seriously hard, so hard that you have to figure out NEW ways to overcome that. And that doesnt always specify that new ways have to be in combat tactics, because thats upto you, Larian always said they want you to have total freedom in what you do - so I don´t think that Ellezard utilizing his freedom, and knowledge of game to give himself a chance to beat the game is anything bad. Sure, tactician mode is badly implemented with its stat-bloat, BUT it still fills its purpose - it makes "casuals" cry

That is what original tactician did aswell, it was just more entertaining in DOSEE...
I mean everybody who tried Honor mode in DOSEE knows that you had to be quite unconventional to win, utilizing special pulling mechanics, specific gearing sometimes, using all the teleports and possible combos and everything the map could give you to have a chance.
Using REGULAR game mechanics just to properly gear up, isn´t really all that interesting considering other options.
