Mirroring most of Koitsu's posts.

Bugs: Bunnicorn, Treeent sapling, moontouched stag, and dire bear essences do nothing. Window goes into offline when not in focus.

Balance seems off. After several experimental rebirths everything does into vitality and resilience. I've given up on fighting and am relying on my eye of storm dao to kill anything that doesn't manage to kill me within 18 seconds. Reached inner disciples while only at Organ refinement on rebirth 3 with this stupid yet effective build.

I had to reset saves before this twice due to the stat spreads I tried not being able to beat the wolves on floor eight by the time flesh remodling levels started taking 5-8 minutes to level up.

Yep, eye of storm is getting balanced next patch

Looking into patching the other issues this week end. All of them are display only and the Aspects bonuses are actually
properly used in combat

Good to know. Two more things, putting points in swiftness seems almost useless. Sure it raises your attack speed but it noticeably lowers you hit chance and if you put points into precision to offset that you loose the dodge chance you built up. So either you're abandoning landing hits for survivability or your paying 2 points for a tiny speed increase. Second turns out if you get enough pills the list goes off the screen making the bottom ones unselectable.

The record of what will soon be lost.

Yep, definitely did not intend for a build like this to be able to go this far. Thanks for sharing. (I do want this build to be used though, I think it's a fun tanky way of progressing)

A cap on the amount of doubles seems the most obvious solution. Worth noting that with the current way it's programed the first double happens before the first damage tick. (T3 says it's 15 then double but at 2 seconds enemy takes 30 and 4 they take 60, and 6 they take 120 ect.)
Say... T1 gets 5 doubles. 5,10,20, 40, 80. Then it keep repeating 80 for that fight. That would be enough to tank build to reach the ents but past that you either need a lot more endurance or offsetting the needed damage with Might.
T2 might get 5-7 scaling. 10,20,40,80,160,320,640. At a cap of 7 You'll be able to kill everything in plane one if you can live 12 seconds. at 6 it will take 16-18s depending on the turtle's rarity. on the other hand 5 will be almost useless for plane two because they heal roughly 60-70 per second meaning at max your dao might be only doing 20-40 damage that sticks every two seconds when ramped up which means pure tank would have to survive for well over a minute to win any battle there.

Also currently once you are on plane two enemy damage scales a lot faster than their health. I need somewhere between 120-126 in both resilience and vitality to beat any vagabonds but once I can it's enough durability to reach floor 30 with a 1/3 chance of beating each enemy regardless.

I'll be adding something like this with next patch

Attribute choice is probably pretty Path dependent. For Thunder Rush, I have to go Might and Vitality until they both get to 300 and then I can shift my focus over to Swiftness and Precision. Most of the focus is on precision once my attack interval drops to 0.7 or so.I also will drop10pts into Resilience whenever I can, but even at 40%. Crits tend to do me in pretty quickly.
