Is anyone else getting the feeling that a lot of stuff just got double nerfed? It feels like folks sat around a table and listed every situation that was problematic in MK I for Circle, and then nerfed things without consideration for the sum of the parts or with consideration for MK II core rules changes.
Take Vigilance for example.
It is now self only, which prevents it from being cast on heavy warbeasts to allow them to take a free-strike to avoid a charge attack + follow up attacks.
It no longer a free strike, but a regular attack, so a heavy hitter won't be likely to pull off an aspect removing attack when it attacks with vigilance... However, you can only cast it on a MAT 5 POW 12 model...
Or the super stacking of DEF buffs on a Woldwarden with Kruger. Windstorm is now deflection and provides no DEF bonus. Gobber clouds don't provide +2 DEF that stacks with concealment because of a core rule change, yet the Woldwarden had its Animus changed so no longer provides concealment, and the Woldwarden can no longer cast lighting and still cast its animus.
