Then don't put points in it. I feel strong about one thing. It is impossible to properly balance a game and it can go from crazy easy to crazy hard if your team starts first or last. I think it is brilliant that they stagger it, like a game of chess. Much easier to balance, more reasonable over all.
Really?... 'Don't put points in it'? What happens if they nerf the rest of the stats so they do nothing as well? Don't put points in them either?
I agree a game like this can't ever (and shouldn't ever) be perfectly balanced, but clearly a main stat needs to do
something. Otherwise, why is it there? Might as well remove it, along with initiative.
Correct. If it isn't worth it, don't put points in it. Perhaps the premise is so simple that it is missed? But they read everything, they'll review and see if something changes in a patch. I put in the var that controls the the Crit, right next to it controls how many Init points one point of Wits adds. So you can take it in your own hands now to fix it, if one feels it is too weak.
It's the same thing in the other thread about the mirror granting the option to respec for free. If you think the source tanks/fountains trivialise content, don't use them? I would never think of interrupting my adventuring just to teleport/run back to recharge and cheese game mechanics. It'd ruin the flow of my gameplay. Nerfing a skill because some people choose to (ab)use game mechanics against their own better judgment (!) seems like the wrong call to me. Through normal gameplay, source is rare enough that I hesitate every time I'm tempted to spend it. Maybe there's a greater challenge just around the corner where that source point is the one thing standing between me and death?
Back on topic: I'm not sure wits needs a buff. It seems pretty powerful to me, all in all, for both in-combat and out-of-combat. The greater problem, to me, is the way initiative works now. I really dislike the change to that mechanic.
Common stance when something like this happens. It's about making gameplay right. Why Blizz is who they are, right? If something is out of whack hugely and the dev cares to patch it, I'm for it. If not, again you take it in your own hands how you want to deal with it.
