Ok, Vraes is good.

Started a new game, just got to episode 2. I am thinking the person who benfitted the most from crafting has to be Vraes... The nice amount of blood crystals from episode 1(thanks for that btw!) allows you to craft equipment with dodge and parry on it. This in turn lets you take BR to reasonable levels instead of straight leveling PS. The benefit is huge! Regular hits of around 70 with crits doing 250 at a 22% crit rate, awesome for the part of the game. He is by far my biggest damage. I was a diehard Kincaid guy, now I am torn! Curse you TB!

matrim - that is really exciting to hear. While a late game add, I think crafting did wonders for the game. Really glad to hear you are seeing Vraes "blossom" lol

Vraes has always been gear dependent. I think respec was the first part -- respec around gear ... and crafting is the second part (re-gear around spec.)

Vraes has always been amazing, but he's also always been very gear bound.
