Dev Team, show me you care about your players because I just don't see it (long read)

Neptune is the biggest Troll who is not a troll? does that even make sense? In the time you spent on this thread you could probably take a class from 1-50. 40-50 is a 3 hour push on some wolves. 1-40 goes very fast especially if you make a few good parties and find the right beastmen camps OR find a willing PL for a couple hours at a time over a few days.

Also i'm pretty certain right now with shield skills and the way its been revamped a CON with a shield makes almost no difference to survivability vs the CON w/o a shield. I know things were different before 1.19 but times a changing and gotta adapt or fall behind.

Specifically thinking of how I held 3 skelly on CON for the last phase of Batraal, by abusing sentinel and deflection/aegis boonII

One big HUGE change to the way the mage class is different is how we dont' have to engage to cast which takes away the use of a shield since (correct me if I'm wrong) but shield only procs when engaged. And if you engage you prevent yourself from recovering MP through resting.
