Crossposting this from the other thread because it’s highly relevant. Just to reach PARITY with the other classes they would have to trim the veteran tree by 19 nodes. The ideal way to do that would be to merge talents and stat nodes so that there aren’t as many of them, especially now that a lot of them have been heavily nerfed.
But that’s only half the problem, the shape of the veteran tree needs a rework. The keystone branches are ridiculously long and it takes too many points simply to descend from top to bottom because there are so many prerequisite “tax nodes” just to pick the aura and ult you want. Compressing the top of the tree so that you can pick any blitz from any of the three starting branches was a step in the right direction but I strongly believe they should bulk up the top half of the tree by putting more talents before the blitz and between the blitz/aura/ult nodes.
