Is the next tournament soon? Out of work, this would be a fantastic time to have one! Even if it was a light one.

@Gerry Quinn We do have unrandarts to fill that role, and it’s conceivable that the push-back effect could work on an unrand. However that push-back effect by itself isn’t quite memorable enough to be the sole idea behind an unrand. Unrand boots you can evoke to push back monsters and daze them? Maybe! However there were just not any big fans of the fan’s old effect on the dev team. If someone cared enough to suggest and, even better, implement, an unrand or god ability that incorporated push-back as a means of escape, it’s certainly something we’d look at.

Why not just make these things rare, so you won’t often see them?

@hadoku Well, you can still experience that when you cast Iskenderun’s Mystic Blast! The fan was something you wanted to lug around in every game to cover those few times when you made a mistake or where it maybe saved you one consumable. It’s the sort of effect where it’s nice to not have to remember to use it every game, so a spell or a god ability is a nice fit.

I’m really sad about fan of gales removal. That was such a fun tactical item to use to try and escape to a staircase when getting chased.

PS – kudos on the magic changes. They make things harder in a good way.

What about reverting binary vampires?!

The only justification for that change was making them less fiddly. They still don’t have food clock and is completely un-nuanced better than less fiddly?

The real problem here is that food is still broken since it was rationalized.
