PROOF: Big Bang - December 7th

Where in the world did you come up with this notion? Survivability increases thats for sure, so you might save in on charms. You lever faster at earlier levels but that does not take away the use for 2x EXP, especially since family system no longer provides you with great EXP buffs. But the main iffyness of your claim is about potential system. A common problem with people and their idea of Big Bang is that every character will be brutish in power, but at the same time they seem to forget that monsters are getting harder to kill. I dare say that people gonna find it harder to kill high level monsters unless they have some decent potential on their gear than it is to kill skeles and chief oblivion guardians without it pre BB. So nothing about BB really support your claim. Sorry to burst your ballon. xP

The only thing I'll concede is that pets are still good. Everything else you listed is a blatant convenience item. I've never bought - and never will buy - 2x cards and I don't use cubes. But then again, I'm not an item/damage whore who plays for fun and his friends (not that I'm saying you are).
