to be honest I don't mind the drop in damage, and from looking at abilities reincarnation give you it open a lot more versatility to a game that is solely determined by who gets the first attack off. yes you have to top up more to keep your spot but now you can have a counter play for something that wasn't there to begin with. people will always have a problem when something new comes out but once you have enough time to figure out the system then it become second nature. that just my 2 cents on this
