It works best for strats that use potions to level or anyone with the alchemists scroll, but I personally prefer a fine sword.

There are plenty of people who swear by the blacksmith sword (+2 attack), and the Trisword is strictly superior. I'd agree it isn't locker-worthy anymore (if you could somehow get both Trisword and Alchemist's Scroll that'd be kickass, but that requires too much luck seeing as they come from two different item pools) but it's still a good item.

I miss the old Dorkling builds. The Trisword nerf was for the best, but my goodness the Dorkling was so fun.

My beloved Healthmonster has returned to me had >300 hp, and unstoppable parched on DI including killing everything in the subdungeon with physical damage only is always a gas

I do kind of feel like Enlightenment is a bit underwhelming for the piety cost now Absolution got its deserved nerf. I mean, it's the same cost it was when you'd reliably have 10-15 beads from Absolution alone and now it's pretty rare to have 15+ beads total. Feel it should either be 80 piety/64 for Paladins like Chaos Avatar or add another +1% resists/+1% damage or something per bead.

I think I've used Enlightenment once ever.

Spoiler below.

Heck, even the puzzle with a sign that mentions the path to Enlightenment isn't solved with Enlightenment. You know a capstone boon is pretty bad when it can't be used to solve its own puzzles.

Enlightenment is still pretty awesome; only one other deity can actually give you +5 max MP, and he's not as easy to work with as GG. I'd agree a price decrease is probably in order, but it's better than a lot of other boons. Probably up there with Stone Heart in the realms of "overnerfed, but still usable". For a Paladin who can't convert out, it's a pretty good deal at 80 piety.

Hm? I've gotten +5 max MP with both MA and JJ before.
