Oh boy, you really do not understand anything about balance.
I understand that it has been ruining videogames since 2008.
Having a 18 int item at level 2 means that no one ever would start with an 18 int. Why should he?
Because Wizards need to have at least an INT of 19 to cast lvl 9 spells. Or because of roleplaying. Only because some dummy can't help himself but minmaxes all his characters all the time, doesn't mean we must all reduce ourselves to their level. Stats are supposed to represent certain attributes of your character, so I'm not going to play a druid with 8 INT only because INT is a dumpstat. GEt voer yourself, videogames shouldn't be about efficiency. They can be, but it should not be mandatory.
That points are basically wasted unless you get a even more awesome item in the future for that slot.
It's a game, the only thing being wasted is your time that you spend on complaining about optional stuff. Don't like the circlet? Don'T USE it. Same for savescumming.
Having this item means you get free points to invest in other stats while leaving Int at the base value.
It literally doesn't do anything for you, unless you are an arcane caster and even then, you will want to be aiming for higher to cast your highest level spells. Also this is just early access. Please explain how having a +4 modifier on INT ruins the game. Pro-tip: you can't, because INT is practically a useless stat for everyone who isn't a wizard. Sorcerers can jsut out it on and benefot nothing from it.
What is the cancer of videogames are entitled players who want an easymode for everything and are deeply upset when facing any kind of challenge.
How is that circlet easymode? You are hysterical. Also, way to call the consumers cancer, that always works out as we all know.
All your whining on this issue contributes nothing to the betterment of the game, it will not be listened to either because people can see how dumb it is. If you are dumb enough to powergame in 5E, you would never use INT as a dumpstat on a wizard or an EK or AT (the only classes that use INT as a casting stat). Wizards need to aim as high as possible for Spell DC, and the other two mostly use support spells anyway, and giving them a +4 modifier on some spells will only be an advantage until mid levels anyway. Maybe the item exists to make some multiclass options viable, but I guess people shouldn't be allowed to play a viable wizard/cleric or wizard/druid because it offends your feelings.
Plus here's a fact that you can't handle: You are not forced to use the item. Your pathetic moaning about how other peole may have fun with their game in a way you don't like it is just that: pathetic, sad and desperately controlling. Grow up.
