Sorry to hear about that, but at least fury is more compete with other druid subclasses. The duration is short tho, everytime when i'm enjoying the lightning form, it ends, too bad. It gets prolonged once you kill stuff though. Use a Bleak Walker/Fury with Scion of Flame, Heart of the Storm and Spirit of Decay and you fury attacks will have +3 PEN when executing FoD. Even with nerfed Wildstrike this should still be a nice shifter setup.

You want examples? I already gave some in that quote you used. But I can repeat myself, why not: - removed the endurance/health system - removed DR and use AR/PEN instead - reinvented all afflictions and introduced inspirations - removed per-rest abilites and introduced per-rest empower instead - removed a general talent pool and put most of them back in as abilites - introduced weapon proficiencies I could go on for hours... And no offense, but if you can't "see anything changed much" you must be either blind or clueless (on that matter). I don't say that all of those "reinventions" are bad. Also reinventions and improvements are not mutually exclusive. I just would have liked it more if they stayed closer the the mechanics of PoE1 and used their time and money to refine that system and put more work into the actual content of the game rather than mechanics (that will be bugged and unbalanced so that we will be in the same spot as with PoE1 after release - and we are). But that's just my opinion. And I still enjoy Deadfire so far.

Unless I completely misread his post I don't think his point was that it was a good thing, it sounded clearly sardonic to me. Yes, I was being sardonic. But just because I think something's not meeting my taste or expectations doesn't mean it's inherently bad. It's just not what I would have done - but I don't have to earn my living with the development of video games (thank you, merciful fate). I mean if so many people don't get how endurance/health works there's only one thing Obsidian can do: make it simpler. They have to sell games after all. And the government has to invest in better education obviously so we can have endurance/health back without confusing people too much...

Holy Radiance 1.1
Boeroer replied to Gromnir's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
Gromnir (along with his way of writing forum posts) has been here right from the start. He's basically a fixture. By the way: our Gromnir and Baldur's Gate's Gromnir are the same person. Maybe with that kind of information it's easier to understand why Gromnir is... well... Gromnir. Concerning the question: I believe it just escaped Obsidian that the priest is still not influenced by dispositions at all. Or it's really low on their priority list. Because if this was intended: why not say so? -
Deadfire vs Tyranny
Boeroer replied to rone's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
@Stephen Unsworth-Mitchell: may I politely ask you to not use white text? I know you mean well and it's cool when I read your posts on the PC, but I'm using the forums a lot on my mobile because I travel a lot - and there the background is actually... white. Hehe. -
I strongly believe that the nerfs don't have anything to do with the whole club-or-sword thing. All the good weapons got a nerf because - let's face it - they were just too good. If you find an item and it just makes all the creativity/ideas/efford you put into your character pointless then it's too good. And the Kapana Taga was too good in my opinion. Now it's still a great weapon, but doesn't feel like "oh sure, the BIB fanbois got the awesomest weapon because they licked boots" anymore. The actual change from sword to club was done decently I think.

Josh once explained how he likes to overnerf things and then reiiterate over the whole thing with smaller re-buffs in order to find the perfect point of balance. I can't say that I agree with that approach but because of that I think there will be a lot more patches with incremental rebuffs. It was so in PoE. Several stuff got nerfed pretty hard after release and then rebuffed with several patches. Look at FoD, Animal COMpanions, Spiritshift, Backstab and many, many other things.
