Wanted to give an update. A bit under the weather, and also visiting family, so I'll do a summary of discussion tomorrow, but wanted to post a few more questions, as that's way less work for me.
1) How much power do we think Boomburst requries us to give up, with respect to special sweepiness and to a lesser extent the raw stat. Please don't give exact numbers, but rather just an idea
Full disclosure; Hvoice 32 doesn't fill me with confidence as competing with Iron Valiant is going to be very difficult, but its a defining move, and I need to base our BSR on Hvoice.
2) I've seen a lot of talk suggesting that we may need to be rather fast on every set. Does an explicit ceiling on Attack (for physical sets) make sense, a Physical Sweepiness ceiling (allowing for breloom style spreads and also greninja style spreads), or a mixture of both.
While some folks have talked about physical being preferable to special, I don't really want to make that decision at the moment, and instead plan to allow for voters to decide that after stat spread are submitted. I also may trial a different stat ceiling for physical, special, and mixed spreads, as they aren't necessarily going to coincide.
3) Does a specific archetype (jack of all trades, specialist) make sense for Physical, Special, Physically Biased, and Specially Biased spreads?
