What people don’t seem to realize (because critical thinking, who needs it, right?) is that that “skill issue” translates to is “limitations requiring compensation.” The range evoker struggle with is a limitation that needs to be overcome, and not everyone wants to have to deal with that glaring issue even though they otherwise enjoy the class.
And they’re not wrong for wishing that limitation didn’t exist. The range of evoker does not equal class identity. Not for everyone, at least.
