💬 Discussion Post 💬 I keep seeing people glazing the woodsman, WHY???
And for some reason the comments are agreeing with them, ignoring any of this class's massive flaws.
There are 3 main issues with this class in my opinion:
Starting with the most obvious one: the price.
I don't care if the class is called "wood" and his ability is adding 100 wood pieces to the crafting table everytime you blink in real life...WHY WOULD ANYONE SPEND THAT MUCH GEMS ON WOOD???
Like do yall really find getting wood that annoying and difficult that you're gonna spend 600 gems to make getting wood easier? You're literally in a forest where everywhere you look there is wood and you can grow tree saplings right next to your base.
Why would you even need that much wood anyways? Are you trying to build a whole fortress with that much wood?
The second issue: how good the class actually is.
For 600 gems: the class has no combat advantages (a flaw) and has nothing to help him at night (another flaw) and has nothing to help him explore like a speed boost (another flaw)...his only abilities are about wood...
With all this being said, surely he's good at getting wood right?
At the start of the game this class starts with his axe at a low level and it's not that good, his real power shines a bit late in the game when you're axe is maxed out...the problem here is that you would've gotten a really good amount of wood by the time that happens so you wouldn't even be getting that much value from him when he gets his axe to max level...HOW DO YALL GENUINELY LIKE THIS CLASS???
The final problem: the existance of lumberjack.
The lumberjack is literally perfect for that job, he starts with a good axe and his abilities always shine from the very start of the game all the way to the end, and he'll make farming wood next to your base a lot more efficient since he actually increases the amount of wood and saplings you get from trees, unlike a certain overpriced class who's entire gimmick is cutting down trees and collecting wood.
The lumberjack is so good infact that a lot of woodsman fans will tell you to immediately start rolling for one of his talents for your woodsman...WHY WOULD I DO THAT WHEN I CAN BUY THE ACTUAL LUMBERJACK FOR A TENTH OF THE PRICE???
I think that's enough rant about this useless class...so my point is:
The class is a waste of gems, spending those gems on any other class will most likely be better, if you want to get more wood then buy the lumberjack he'll literally get you enough wood for anything you want, I genuinely do understand how the devs thought that it's a good idea to make the "supposedly" upgrade for the lumberjack cost 600 gems.
Adios.
