I’m not a massive fan of the original but still somewhat enjoyed what I saw. I think I got a few seasons in before my interest faded.
I just watched the first episode of the live action and initially it felt very weird and wasn’t really a big fan. I stuck to it and honestly it really grew on me and like how they handled it. Definitely gonna watch the rest when I get the chance.
It’s funny you mention your first skills (basic skills) are just filler because this season some of the meta builds use basic skills as the main damage dealer so you don’t need to even think about resource regen as they don’t use it. Rogue and Sorcerer both have their best builds use the basic skills and work around them. There’s still a lot to be desired with balancing and endgame but I feel they are turning things around gradually.
