The Raise Tax, and how to address it.

[Supersnow845]

Because you missed about half the point I was making.

You're talking as if every point is equal. A mage who has 20 pts in STR doesn't mean they gonna swing their stave as hard as a war who has 20 pts in STR.

You can argue that it's dumb to put 20 pts in STR on a mage, I'm just saying you're not gonna get a refund on those points no matter how dump you think it is.

The point is, to have Raise on their bar, a certain number of points was invested there, and those points had to come from somewhere else. It doesn't matter how much you want to argue the merit of verraise, even if going as far as you never gonna use it, you still not gonna get a refund on those point unless the ability is actually removed from the job.

If your point is “equal distribution of points leads to unequal results” then you are basically just advocating for built in mathematical advantage for no other reason than the devs like the advantaged jobs

For example why is there no “tax” for the “points” VPR “invested” in its incredible ranged utility, why is there no tax for the “points” tanks “invest” in healing, why are healers “taxed” on damage for “points” they never invested in the first place
