    With The Silent Master ST Ferrens can reset pounce and Blood Rage so within ST Lonx Bonecharm can be quite powerful. Not to mention Splitting with FS and using Swift Current to relocate and generate AP among Monks.

    I'm pretty sure that the developer of a game decides what the terms of that game mean....I mean, if "spot" was something used in other games as a term with a similar definition, then sure. But as far as I know it isn't. Therefore, it's the developers call as to what something means. What ever the players end up deciding is the players descision and consequence.

    Well, no, if players are using a term in a specific way, and they use it consistently... I can't just say it doesn't mean what it means. I mean, I could, but there's no reason they have to listen.

    True, it's just, well, I feel like your opinion should hold higher water. IDK, maybe I'm wrong.

    In terms of designing Poxnora, yeah, I'd agree that Sok's opinion is worth a heck of a lot. But when it comes to language about Poxnora, that's some murkier water. Generally, yes, Sok can attempt to proscribe official terms and argue for them, but if other people use words or phrases differently there's not much to do about it. It's certainly useful for Sok to be clear about how he is using whatever words he's using, or anyone else for that matter -- communication needs precision and clarity -- but I don't think being a designer, in this particular respect, provides him with much moral authority.

    Tho I think I am right in this case about how people use the term "Spot" as it relates to mechanics/effects.

    Am I wrong in thinking that "Spot" is just a shortened version of the phrase "on the spot" which is used to mean something with immediate effect?

    Since I have you all here...does The Collective's effect reset if another Collective is deployed?

    example: Deploy Collective, deploy unit with Race: X, later deploy a new Collective relic, followed by another unit with Race: X.

    I know it does not stack if two units with the same race are deployed, however does the new collective act as a new counter with a clean slate for all races or does it read from the currently deployed Collective?

    While I can call things whatever I wish this semantic part of the debate is quite irrelevant anyweay, isn't it.

    screwed? they just made it so it doesnt trigger on enemy relics and equips now lol

    No. The change was that the deployed Relic/Equipment needs to be within 5 spaces of the Ingenuity champion to trigger. Which it generally was anyway. It just means deploying banner behind your shrine won't trigger it now, or if you deploy a banner at a side font.

    The "generally was anyway"-part is debatable ... It certainly is a considerable nerf that forces salaman to clump up even more.

    Like many other themes already need to clump up.

    Salaman are notorious for their vulnerability to AoEs.

    True that, not used to that yet.

    Can we do any better on ferren master's upgrades? These options, just feel extremely lack luster.
