Ow. But fair. I do admit that the build was nowhere near as fun to play as it was to create.
I have played with what I refer to as the build that ruined the game for me on other occasions with other players. This is not hyperbole, I actually quit playing for roughly a year, and the "war of escalation" catalyzed by this particular build was one of the primary reasons.
I'm actually stunned you call it "fun to create" since it's so boilerplate at this point and it's always exactly the same elements: initiative boosts, traits for lowered metamagic, and the massive "I don't cast sorcerer spells but I use their abilities" combo. Essentially, for me, showing up to a game day, and seeing every combat turn into, "combat starts, now it's over" isn't fun as a player. So I've made the conscious decision not to play with that character build again.
I have no commentary on you as a player, I've never played with you before. It's the build I have a problem with.
