Hi!
Hmmm.. very interesting points, you should have pointed that out during
the revision, we could have up the cost. I see the merit in what you
say, they are pretty more resilient know with templates, especially
since vortex and other one-shot kills are now expensive, makes
preatorians pretty nasty.
What say others in this regard? I think the points cost Ryan states are
on the money too, opinions?
