I think what Maxle meant is that when he gets in the Catacombs and Abyss.

What about it? The adventurer still rocks there. At most you need to switch the spells you're using to some ZAP ones like Storm, and you'll be perfectly fine.

The new Ice Ray or Glacial Spike spell are new alternatives to FIRE spells as well.

I meant that the Adventurer is never quite as strong as other classes (he's a great all-arounder, but he's not the best of anything). I don't mean he's weak, I mean that he's weaker at higher levels.

Your point? The adventurer still has the advantage of being able to do a lot of crap at once (like melee combat + spells), which most other classes can't. It's this fact that makes him awesome, as I've already said numerous times now.

That's what the adventurer is meant to be like.

That the adventurer can do a lot of crap at once is a fact, not an opinion.

Only in theory.
In practice, if you discover that your opinion sucks, it must be discarded in favor of a better one.

But it's an opinion how useful you consider the crap he can do to be. It IS a matter of personal opinion if you think that his strengths weigh more than his weaknesses or otherwise.

Sure. However, judging from Maxle's wording, I came to the conclusion that he believed the adventurer to be overall weaker than other classes, which clearly isn't true.
Anyway, let's end this discussion. Maxaxle is free to have his own opinion, of course, I just wanted to clarify things. =/

We're weighing pros and cons. Versatility is a pro, lack of outstanding powers in a con. Maxle is treating these two as if they were one property, and insists of weighing them as a con together.
