Unfortunatelly you're missing the point of the critic itself.

CAN you play by investing in wits? Absolutly yes.

Will it come even close in power as someone who is not? Absolutely not.

The post was not made to point out how you should play. Invest in whatever you like, put all your points in constitution and no will will bat an eye.

The issue is, if you're doing something that is blatantly sub-par because you have fun with it that has no place in a conversation about balance (unless you're argueing that even though it is unbalanced, it is fun, there is a case to be made there sometimes, not on this particular one though (I think(?))).

OP's post is very clear about this particular issue - the game completely discourages any strategy that deviates from a particular path, there is an obvious stronger choice.

Do a quick test (like several people have already done before) - save right before any particular fight (once for every level/power spike if you want precise results) and then respec before doing those fights, testing builds. The difference is massive when stats are properly alocated.

By the way, no one ever said wits should be the main stat (other than your mention of it of course). It might not even be that bad of a stat (and only be a collateral effect) if other things got fixed (less streamlined stats, different initiative system, etc.).



If what you don't like is just the way he worded things, perhaps sending a suggestion of what you consider a better version of a paragraph is a smarter way forward. He did ask for it a few times, it should be very helpful.
