I'm glad they toned Willow down a bit, she's such a comfy QoL character to play, having her turned into a weirdly strong mid-ranged dps character was just weird. Now she's just OP for farming a lot of the annoying items, which fits the whole QoL theme a lot better.

I’m honestly really enjoying the new combat that wig offers and hope they expand this a bit like they did with magic a bit. It’s nice to have mechanics and other ways to fight instead of hit, dodge repeat. They seem to be adding a lot of “rpg” elements to the game and I’m kind of for it, because the game still feels like a dst/survival sandbox, to me. Willow tree for sure needs work still but man I had to watch that wig combat twice. So epic

Bernie’s skills (or actually just his affinities and tough stuffing) are actually kinda busted. His affinities don’t give him planar defense, they actually turn him into a ‘planar entity.’ (similar to a Brightshade or an Inkblight) That basically means that the more damage an attack would do, the more it gets reduced. It’s still not a great part of the skilltree, but the fact that it IS possible to have all the ember spells, and an affinity for both bernie and the lighter is quite nice.

I really think willow should have gotten a skill that has a chance to set mobs on fire no matter which weapon she uses... maybe even one causes burning opponents to not panic. Aside from that i really enjoy the 2 new skill trees

I guess I don't mind the way the skill trees are going, but man I wish they didn't work the way they did. I think a system in which the skill trees reset between worlds, but insight is gained at a much higher rate would fit the pace of this game so much more nicely. It would also play to the benefit of any skill unlock requirements. Maybe the lunar/shadow branch of skill trees can stay as permanent unlocks if the requirements are deemed too grindy to do every single time you play a new world, but otherwise I really wish it was like that. Right now, it still doesn't even make sense to me why these updates are even in the form of skill trees at all if they're going to stay permanently unlocked.
