Re: Just a Suggestion, Bring on the Hate!!!
My compromise would be to make additional two or three talents that can be obtained differently. Maybe a rune and Essence, mirroring the skill upgrade? With this, monsters can't learn just any talent. The potential for each monster is somewhat raised with more options.
Another compromise would be offering a better chance at getting epic talents with rune + silver coins. This plays right into Haypi's design. Gamble your way to better talents. Sightly off-topic.
