Hey all,
Good to see so many old faces still around. I have been unable to recover my old identity, hope there is np with starting a new one.

Welcome back!

Alexti is right, fatigue is a killer for SCs, particularly when quickened.

The worst part is not the penalty to defense, but the fact that it allows for armour piercing hits (IIRC from Dom:PPP & Dom2).
30 fatigue means opponents hitting through your defense have a 30% chance of scoring an armour piercing hit...thus why the Earth bless is even more important for Niefels than the Nature one: better not suffering any damage from mundane troops than trusting your regen to make up for it.

Good point about critical hits, I haven't thought about that. I think it's less than 30% at fatigue 30, but without reinvigoration fatigue will quickly get at the level where chances of critical hit will get to 30% and more.

Besides, Niefels cannot trust any longer Breath of Winter to do the killing for them, so battles take longer, and that means still more fatigue.
But now many of them can cast Soul Vortex, which is even better
