Doh, why did I think you were marsh/savage. Played with and liked Nyst.

This is a response to everyone, not just you. The example would never be perfect. Every character in CF has a different skill set, powers, and rewards. I didn't take into account year, player base sizes, alignment, or insects. The variance does make any conclusion reached from the numbers less precise, but its the best that can really be done with how CF is so it is all we have to go on. If someone wants to run numbers POST terrain change, I'm fine with that as well.

All that being said, I don't think that beastmaster is bad. That doesn't make it good and/or strong though. It would shine with insects and a good ranger player, but any pursuit/explorer would likely shine more in that situation so that is a fairly moot point. I also wonder about how well a beastmaster in predators stance would do as a berserker, but that's a question for another day.

I am not against seeing their skills being tweaked, but I don't expect it to happen any time soon either. There are still other classes that need more individuality.

(As a side note, you must also have much better luck with call lightning to want it so bad. Ninety percent of the time I use it, it hurts them without finishing them and by the time I recover they have bolted.)
