The reason for that is probably that my "you're free to have a go at me" taunt was meant to invite someone with something to add, either to correct me or to enrich the discussion, like you did. You pointed out something that my radar missed. XieJing would be great as a spark blanket and her status damage buff still gives a great damage boost (I underestimated the number of bosses that can get at least one status, so I was somewhat wrong on overemphasizing her situationality (except for elemental weakness. F*** elemental weakness, still one of the situationalest buffs))

I know people find it retarded when someone else uses the fullest extent of their linguistic ability when they wanted only a casual conversation (I'm not telepathic. I can't know who wants a casual conversation and adjust my tone for them before they even show up). When I explain things I go on massive tangents (like this comment, the original version of which I lost because the browser f***ed) becaue there are unexplained things that pop up.

If it's length and complexity that tires people, then maybe I now realize that maybe all along all these people were near the edge of ruin and want to take a break and save up their energy to keep themselves from falling apart, but they don't say it because, I don't know, they say they're fine. But maybe all this time people perceived me as an enemy out to get them, and this puts strain on them.

And I know people find it cheesy that it's the case, but I do like to enrich the discussion with insights, insights that I also seek when going into conversations.

Either way, my point was that XieJing is somewhat situational, and the classic expectation-disappointment we get all the time. You see, Gazia was a super meta unit when his trial was released, and this was the case for a few months. Maxwell's skill set was new and OP when her trial was released. XieJing is, as you suggested, average. I, along with many if not all people in this game, would've prefered if she was a more general utility unit. Units whose buffs are good for general use have an objective advantage. Anyone's opinion in the general use topic won't change the fact that general use is an advantage, and in no conceivable fold of reason is an advantage like this a hindrance. More often used = more value per unit.

But... I didn't plan a serious debate. The first comment was only me giving a try of an analysis that maybe would be useful, just me saying what I think of this unit's release.

I lost the rest of what I wanted to say. Maybe it's for the better after all.
