Venomancers aren't just casters, they have a physical counterpart, which is something no other caster has. For example, a cleric wanting cleric only claws would be stupid, when should a cleric be physically attacking anyone? However, venomancers were given that option in their skills, and while they were probably meant to use both forms back and forth, you really only seem caster form venos that use foxform for its debuffs. In my opinion, it could always be switched. A veno that is in foxform all the time but goes caster form for the debuffs.Now, in relation to your second point, not every character does the same thing. A APS sin is not going to be able to fulfill an APS venomancer's role, nor vice versa. Same with a APS Blademaster or whatever. Blademasters were meant to be full HA as well, but most aren't. Are they fail as well? Its trying new things and adapting. I think its pointless to look down on something that hasn't been tested or even put into the game yet. Not very well read through so probably some mistakes but you get the point. Anyways, I like the idea and fully support it.
Edit your message so it looks less offensive, then I might consider replying.
That post contains nothing which should offend you, if you feel thats the case then you have read it offensivley, for which I can make no appologies. However as someone else has done your job for you in arguing your case, I think I'll go ahead and leave it as it is. *This post is made to sound slightly derogatory for which I make no apologies.
