OP Legio or why do you need MP?

[DR.]

Your conclusion pretty much sums it up. Both classes have their advantages and disadvantages. MPs have access to better throwable weaponry while Legio isn't a glass cannon. We'll probably have to look at craftable equipment again and see if anything requires balancing, which is something on the todo list

Would it be easier to start with upgraded stats and make that the max you would want then work your way down from there? 

so if an upgraded 1 hero locked thing is 100% power reds are 90/80% etc you get the idea.

Vs going from greens/blues and ending up with unbalanced upgrades/reds as you were off by 1p or whatever at the start.
