[dev1210] Why Not Merit Weaponskills ??

[Olor]

they aren't going to change it. Seriously. It's funny y'all are acting like Alhanelem was somehow preventing it. Honestly the players of this game gotta get out of the min-maxing extremism - if you need a WS for some special property then just put a point in it. No big deal. Use a different WS as your main DD WS... almost every merit WS has a non-merit WS that is completely competitive with it.

I don't understand all the wailing about this. Merits have always been about choice. Whether you like it or not, that's the way it is. I'd love to be able to max at least 5, and I think that would be more reasonable but I don't mind the idea that there is a trade off - if I want to be the best BLU and have acess to full strength of all their available WS - it might mean I have to sacrifice a bit of power (and really 1 or 2 points from max is actually not a big deal) from a different job.

But with so little difference between 1 point and 5, I really don't get the extreme issue people have with this... but it's a symptom of larger attitude problem in the playerbase...
