I've been grinding ARTIEthestrongestmanINTHEWORLD like crazy for months, wanting to be the first person post-throwing nerf to work his way back up to a useable 11 powerthrow. I had used the CRPG calculator at
http://infinitum.dyndns.org/crpg/calc.htm to make sure that when I hit level 33 I would have enough WPF to be able to use that 11 Powerthrow. According to it when I hit level 33 I was going to have 144 WPF in throwing, and of course the requirement (13 x 11) is 143. I thought even if it was one off I'd be covered.
But I finally hit level 33 tonight and I levelled up and the calculator was off by two. I only have 142 WPF. I have one less wpf than is required to use the 11 powerthrow. There's absolutely nothing I can do about it until I hit level 34, which is effectively never since I'm only gen 4.
I'm not respeccing. I don't know what my effective powerthrow is being nerfed down to as a result of my "throwing proficiency is not high enough" but no matter what, that whole grueling grind from 32-33, which I've been doing for months, has been worthless; the only things I put points into simply don't take effect.
I deserve to be laughed at because it's funny, but it fucks up my best character, and I can't help thinking what I often think about CRPG: I wish they hadn't nerfed everything quite so much.
