I have had this experience now with two dex characters played 1-2 years apart in two connected implementations. First one was a deep assassin, and KD change that happened (when cooldown triggered even against the mobs) made my assassin so handicapped that I had to relevel it to SD to make it functional for adventuring. Now as I play a dexer again after a good chunk of time, everything changes 360 to the other direction once more and I am in the same spot again but in reverse.the grim yeeter wrote: ↑Sun Oct 18, 2020 8:16 amEven the good changes are now bad ones, because they are, necessarily, so drastic that people's characters are suddenly becoming much weaker, very different or even invalid overnight.
KD becomes useful once more, which means discipline is mandatory again and the feat itself becomes a nifty addition to the kit - while it was not picked up by most melees between then and now. After going through a dramatic KD overhaul once, I did not assume that it would happen for the second time in a way a part of character's functionality depends on it.
I'd not be surprised if a bunch of other rogues would be in the same place now.
Someone might say I was stupid not to take discipline, but it simply wasn't necessary take after the first changes on the feat and how it behaved; most targeted discipline checks came from people who figured out to spam Called Shot:Leg, which was relatively rare to see.
