New level caps, why RDM tanking died, and stuff.

It’s really late in the game’s lifespan to be doing this. Like, way too late.

Yeah, everyone knew this was coming. They announced it a few months ago, and everyone could have gotten sufficiently prepared. As far as I can tell though, very few people put in the amount of dedication and effort into doing so. [...]

Strength: SS
Endurance: SS
Discernment: B
