Its not a strawman. The point is, you can increase their damage by one point, two points, three points, all the way to 1,000,000 and it does NOT matter. They have to attack to be useful. Buff their health likewise doesn’t matter and only delays the inevitable especially if the player cannot get to them in time. Either because they decide not to (letting the thrall handle something), because they can’t (maybe they slipped off something), or maybe because they’re not prepared (don’t have the damage themselves to save the thrall either because their equipment isn’t up to par, their experience in said area isn’t enough, or using the wrong equipment).

If you took that statement as a ‘git gud’ one, then its because of your own assessment of yourself, not mine. What I said there is the issue doesn’t make the game entirely broken for everyone. Even if you were absolutely terrible at the game, if you’re in this discussion then it means you hit level 10, you got a thrall, and you are very much capable of doing some content without. You is not -YOU- specifically but the lowest common denominator of player.

Use thralls if they work, don’t if they don’t.

What is so evil about that statement? I can’t say magic words that will fix broken thralls. I would do it for you all if I could. I would say them 100 times for you if it would work. But I can’t. I’m not your messiah. So all I can say is try to bear with things until they get fixed.

You’ll be doing us both a favor. Thank you (if you’re serious).
