Honestly, I'm okay with the new CoTs, but I strongly feel that the Council is now a little too overpowered. Here are a couple of things I really don't enjoy.
First of all, the werewolf transformation. If you ask me, it happens too often if you have a teammate. When you solo, it's somewhat tolerable, but still frustrating.
And then, there's this "FREEM!" thing. One of the thing I despise in games, is getting knocked back, so I always get knockback protection on my characters. From Acrobatics, to sets. FREEM! seems to always bypass everything, and send my character flying. Not cool.
