I did read your post, maybe you didn't understand what I was writing. It is not easy. Period. Yet you are making a big deal about not wanting to make it "easy" by making it account wide, yet 10,000 is still 10,000, so why not make it account wide.
I think skill hunter should be account -wide too. I would go so far as to want unlocked skills available to all PvE characters. Why not? They are available to all heroes and to PvP. I hate to have to go cap the same darn elite on 10 different characters. It's just annoying.
what about pre searing/lower level chars? that would be a huge advantage to an easy role:besides-thats what we have tomes for.
