I didn't say they addressed anything specifically. The older curio benefits raised a lot of thoughtful concern regarding the meta and PK, so the subsequent curios have generally tended to provide perks that weren't "required." E…

They can, but in this case, they don't. The benefits of curios have been addressed in response to issues raised by players (incidentally we didn't arrive at this conclusion from the ever insightful "Spork the admin!"). Curios co…
There's an important distinction between "not listening" and "not doing what we want." I can say, with certainty, the complaints are heard. Simply because those complaints don't directly translate to a vocal individual's or group's expectations does…

Sitting in a manse AFK while you wait out burnout is your choice. You are fully capable of doing a myriad of things while, including continuing to PK albeit in a diminished capacity, with burnout. You are, under no definition of…
I don't dislike the idea, but I'm not confident that it will have any meaningful impact for the reasons stated above. "It costs power," tends to be pretty low on the "Reasons people don't do things," list. The reason the 2 million essence loss curbs…

Because changing the penalty is completely possible without changing the mechanics of supermobs. They may overlap during discussion because they share an overarching topic, but they are not the same thing. I'm not particularly e…
Re attrition: I believe the general consensus is that these are unpopular mechanics. Whether we can use that to change the mechanics is the current discussion. Unpopular doesn't always equate to unnecessary. I have my personal opinions regarding thi…
I have always thoroughly enjoyed your work! I would love to buy one for myself, but alas, I am only an amorphous mass of PK knowledge and envoy complaints and I'm not sure that translates well to pictures. Though I am contemplating purchasing one fo…
It's relatively impossible to balance around illusions. So no, we aren't
If cloudcloils are serving a secondary role such as the herb stacking to prohibit standing, I would prefer to see an existing affliction moved to fill that…
We've gotten a little off track. Discussions regarding the frequency of skills used or the number kill methods X guild has vs Y guild is not within the purview of the overhaul. The Overhaul isn't reviewing skills, only afflictions that sometime…
I rebutted your argument where you used yourself as example, Enyalida. I quoted you only because you used yourself and Shuyin as points of reference. I also used Shuyin. And myself! I would have used Trader Bob if you had used him. I then brought up…
I don't believe I ever stated "Enyalida," nor accused you of conflating anything at any point during any of my commentary! I brought up partisanship, to which you responded, and then I responded to you as opposed to responding about you.

Partisanship is when the same group or groups, which usually translate to in game alliances, agree or disagree on the the same issues repeatedly over an extended period of time. Of course it's not as simple as "everything has to…
For the record, destruction does not have a higher damager formula than the bulk of the main damage skills, but it does have a lower damage formula than some (Wiccans). The skill, by the numbers, is only "better" than other attacks because of faelin…
I was a human mage and had some sweet gay lovin with Dorian (I don't care if he's pixels and programs, I was still jealous of his butt). I'm going to replay it either as a Dalish lady mage and woo Solas or I'm going to be a dwarven templar. I g…

It's sooo goooooood. I beat it last week. My only suggestion is don't be a Knight Enchanter. It sucks the fun and the challenge right out of the game
Possibly! I have to skim a lot (some of you write really long posts), but I don't really understand the point you're trying to make in the first paragraph. This process isn't about you or any specific singular envoy.
Well, that's exactly the logic we are using. If it's not viable and hardly ever used, it's not an affliction we need to keep around. That's the entire premise of the affliction overhaul.

Currently, that is exactly what the case appears to be. Aeromancers have existed for several years without using the mechanic (I mean this as literally as possible, cloudcoils simply aren't a kill method you ever see), and witho…
