Re: A request to EA

Greetings all, and happy new year!
Lots of good feedback in this thread, just as I hoped there would be. It's been pointed out that throwing a mystery feature up on TC and skipping town was probably not the best choice from a communication standpoint. I agree -- the only reason I did it was because I wanted to have something new up on the PVP TC over the holidays, and had approximately zero time to do it (between getting pub 38 out, planning pub 39, and the time absorbed by my own personal holiday plans). It's not how I intend to operate on a regular basis.
Some of you have mentioned hp are now too high. Someone else seconded this and called for a nerf to high-powered items. In fact, raising hp *is* the item nerf. Since AoS we have been introducing abilities and items that stack freely, raising the stakes in terms of how much damage you can dish out, without a commensurate increase in the amount of damge you can *take*.
The point of the non-linear increase was to favor dexxers and give them back an edge they have lost in recent years. I should have thought that one through a little better :-|. Someone suggested an average of Str and Dex, which I think is an interesting idea to try next.
The question of healing also came up. I agree that at 250 hp, it's too easy to walk around casting Greater Heal on yourself and never die. I do plan to address this problem, most likely by reducing the efficacy of subsequent heals within a period of time.
