The mage is quite killable if you're a caster.

Oh, WM is better than Bane in a vacuum. But it requires 13 DEX and 13 INT and 5 junk feats. Ranger also ignores the DEX prereq for the dual-wielding feats.

What do you think grinding adds to the player experience? To do the quests you have to generally visit all the areas and fight the mobs there once or twice. The need to grind is normally something people criticize about RPGs.

Whenever you get an item you'd care about losing, relog. That force saves your toon.

Thanks for fixing 2 and 3 on the list! Probably the easiest way to fix 1 is to figure out which of the attacks the weapon currently merges into, then get rid of the other 2 attacks from the shapes. Also I noticed that shatter doesn't seem to merge, not sure if this is also an issue with other on-hit...

Wait for a server reset between deleting and remaking and you should be fine.

1) Weapons only merge into one of its three natural weapons instead of all three.
2) Gloves don't merge at all, even things like +4 dex on them.
3) It doesn't seem possible to open monster chests while a dragon.

I tested red and blue dragon shape.

You can use the new socket gems on ammunition just fine. It just has to not have any +damage properties already, this stops you from enchanting the same ammo as many times as you want.

Is Mighty Rage 10% or 15% DI?

Honestly witch was mostly more time consuming because of having to kill the champions, which don't add any real danger either.

I appreciate the bosses being hard and not just glorified loot bags like the witch used to be. The difficulty curve after hitting 40 is great too IMO. Newbies can learn builds and mechanical skill on the pre-40 quests that anyone can complete solo. Bosses that are just tank and spank are no fun IMO,...

Where is the rage change documented? I don't see it anywhere.
