I would argue that most of the BM talents are, or at the very least, they are uninteresting, ineffective, and some of them don’t do a whole lot to further the gameplay tied to the core fantasy of BM.
Obviously there’s a lot of subjectivity that goes into this but there’s much that can be done to add more distinguished choices for us to pick between, either based on pure preference when it comes to the thematic approach, or to provide better choices for various types of content/encounters.
It’s the reason why I decided to work out an alternative concept/approach to what BM could be like. Again, much of it depends on subjective opinions ofc, but I like to think that when looking at the spec objectively, it would make for a better approach.
