So, I checked the top 20 pantheon players and only two of them are on the light side, meaning they're been playing assassins right?  Not sure how the experience system works, since neither of them had amazing records like the general/dark side players.  Anyway, here's a little informal poll here about how this happened and what it means for the future of Demigod.

Do you think that the powers that be who influence and make decisions about this game went in this direction because:

A: They do not realize that the universal strategy of the game is health stacking + monks + sigil of vitality = win

B: They realize that this is the only viable strategy but don't really care and just wanted to see how badly people who tried to play this game without monks would do against generals.  In fact, for Epoch IV they are probably going to step it up and have Erebus, UB, Rook, and Oak against the rest of the demigods and see if anyone actually loses playing with the tier ones.

C: They're doin the best they know how, but its hard enough to perfectly balance a gamewith a Blizzard size budget and addicts such as myself will have to get over it.
