Would you like to argue how it's game breaking to have 5% critical hit rate now? Or maybe 12 STR? Should have kept HP/MP merits at 8, I mean you don't want people to attempt to survive VW AoEs now do you?

If SE doesn't want to raise the 15 merit cap then I'd suggest lowering the cap from 5 to 3 while still maintaining 100% modifier at 3/3. The percentages per merit would have to change of course but that would just make the base level WS suck less. That way the cap is still 15 merits but we get to cap 5 WS instead of 3, still quite limited but better than it is.
Totally agreed with all of this post.
