Re: Proposal: Iashol, God of balance and sacrifice
Interesting. Various thoughts:
Cataclysm seems fine. It's quite strong, but it won't actually kill a horde of enemies--you have to have a plan to deal with them yourself, after softening up, which rather limits its use as a panic button.
Power Leap is a miniature controlled blink plus damage for exhaustion. Dammed useful, and I can't figure out why the others aren't using it much. Combined with the passive abilities, Iashol is pretty good for hit and run plans. Being a Felid helped of course, but Iashol would still let normal speed characters kite/run away from normal speed monsters.
Draw Out Power was a little more questionable. It's by no means a bad ability, but in tight situations, I generally preferred to Power Leap away and come back later. It just seems overshadowed most of the time, given that all three abilities use exhaustion.
The passives of course, are just plain nice.
Giving up potions caused at least one of my deaths. Overall, I found myself using potions earlier, since I could never be sure if I could use them at a critical juncture.
Free piety from being a monk is probably a bad idea. Monks being given a choice of sacrifice immediately would seem more appropriate.
