Funny how some people react sometimes : on the ground that a VQ is beatable they dismiss the issue of its/her unbalance.
We aren't talking of strategies against VQ, but about balance and variety in Pretenders.
That a VQ is overpowered is just obvious when you compare her to other or only look at her abilities.
If someone can claim and demonstrate "Well, my Druid (

)is as much powerful/useful than a VQ" (using same point cost)we could progress. Else competitive MP will be plagued by VQs and people of bad faith that don't see any issue with this

...
Let's also propose a temporary fix : ban'em
