Whatever, pal. Hate me as much as you want that you actually want to report me for calling a racist streamer a roach. One that literally had roaches crawl all over him during gaming
Except it’s not really about options. What you want to make optional is essential to the concept.
Once dragon form becomes optional, abilities that require dragon form become optional. Then eventually we start having abilities that once required a dragon form changed to no longer be dragon based. You gave an example of exactly this with having Disintegrate go from a breath attack based on Malygos to being a beam created by a staff. Before you know it, we start allowing non-Dracthyr races to be Evokers and they get an entirely new and different origin point, probably free of the dragon lore completely.
Congratulations. You’ve now created Mage 2.0 that can do everything a Mage can do along with a healing spec.
So no, this isn’t about options. This is about the erosion of the very concept, design, and thematic of the Evoker class.
I didn’t bring up nothing. Someone called me asmon, which I took offense to. I stated why I wasn’t like that racist roach of a hermit king and you went off, and still going off.
Now keep your foulness to yourself, thank you and goodbye.
