Wow, I have no idea why this would cause such an uproar. God forbid if someone has fun.
As to SK's being in the dark and getting darker...
Honestly, I"m having more fun playing my SK more than any other toon I've created in my year+ in EQ2. I've never been a fan of playing a plate tank, but this really rocks.
No class is perfect. If there WAS a perfect class, there would be no reason to have other classes. And grouping would be unneccesary.
And as to the frogs... Go go Froggies!!!
