This from the person who claims PPBs are balanced. Out with it, Geo, you're really Aaron, aren't you.

No, I am not Aaron. I just play a lot of games on PBW so I don't jump on the bandwagon every time someone claims to find the super secret formula for SEIV success. I have learned they all have their weaknesses. To me actual proof is worth a lot more than any theory or scads of charts and formula. If PPB, tailsman, or multiple training facilities were the nirvana they all were claimed by various people, then everybody would be doing them, or at least everybody that won games would be doing them. And I can tell you from experience everybody doesn't do them, and those that do them don't always win.

I never said PPB are perfectly balanced. I think they might be a little cheap to research, and at level 3 they are a bit strong IIRC. But overall they aren't the uber waepon that people claim them to be. They are simply too short ranged and too expensive to be the ultimate weapon. Those are huge weaknesses that are easily countered.
