I don’t think we should give up, and I don’t think that we are. Or is this (partially) about my uber-sarcastic posting in the Last Minute Buff thread? This is just my grim sense of humor in situations like this. We asked for a last minute buff, and we got In-Geom - well, that helps a lot. Not.
I believe that there is some great valuable feedback in the GD thread. We haven’t done a lot of number crunching for a new set, but we evaluated some possible themes for such a set, which skills should be included, and whether some specific skills (like Spike Traps) need a general rework.
I think it’s their turn now. I also hope that they have already done some work on the DH internally, and that they are playing with some nice ideas already, but they’re not ready for launch right now.
