Quote me another please

Wanda has CC-specific interaction, but just because of nature of their abilities the following characters are also at advantage in CC fight: Wickerbottom (rain book + morning star is good for 40k+ hp boss), Wormwood (living logs for dark swords, extra speed if one doesn't have cane for any reason), Walter (looses lunacy on hit, irrelevant for 2nd kill if one uses CC crown though), Warly (well, his grim galette) if one takes a lot of damage in phase 3, and volt goat jelly in general, as well as fighters in general (Wigfrid, Wolfgang)

That IS my point why Maxwell cant have an more satifying way to play?

So? Techincally Wanda requires you to stay at much much lower hp than him to keep her best damage.

Maxwell can tank as well since he has no food restrictions.

Wanda dont need food, 

She dont need It, shopping tô eat is sn dps loss, and Maxwell have to eat often than other caracters

Besting the best of the best doesn't not equal satisfy to play

Where faster Codex cancela would make bom the best?

Where more tanky shadows would make him the best

Was he the best when his shadows dealth 60 damage?

But CC is not the only thing he can do. Bee Queen, Dragonfly, Twins, Toadstool, at least until last phase, not to mention non-boss encounters like ruins clearing and seasonal bosses/Ancient Guardian. 

Plus fighting is by far not the only thing he can do

Well any caracter can do that too, some better some worse

The best part of his kit is Just wicker books

And pillars

Shadow servants have too many problems that Shadow workers didn't have

 

And more he only os able to do those figths because of the pillars destroys the aí of most mobs, because his shadows are really on an bad spot not lack of damage but lack of durabilty or easy spam, 

The time It takes tô last spawn is Just frustrsting

Those are the fights where he shines.

That is fair for Dragonfly and Twins, but not for other fights. Moreover, until patched, those 2 are still fights where Maxwell shines. When (if) devs patch those fights, exact way they fix those bosses will determine whether it's better to use Maxwell-specific things or generic strategies to fight them.

They are quite durable (2 minutes), and even if they die, they are cheap to spawn.

I view uncancellable long casting as interesting downside (one needs to weave casting in general fight workflow) and tradeoff for saving resources on weapons, armor and healing. Not to mention other unique advantages like canceling Crab King healing and not needing speed boosts nor pan flutes for Bee Queen fight. Loss of dps can be overcome with dps boost once duelists are out in most cases, but that part (about dps loss) I need to test myself first. Still, even if overall dps was between Wilson and Wigfrid (taking into account recasting, of course, and for situation when Maxwell fights himself as well) I would be fine with that.

On the flipside she can't heal as efficiently as other characters while requiring her to keep on edge of death to keep maximum dps.

This is like saying the best part of Wolfgang's kit is his dumbell toss.

Making his codex fast, duelists always do 60 damage, and have them hold aggro completely while being extremely cheap does in fact make him insanely strong which I'd imagine is why it's not a thing.

canceling Crab King

What? They didnt have enough atk speed for that at least in last patch thalz tried i tried, i could not manage

Making lessened the need of using her clocks, and being totally safe because of nigth armor

Unless I'm somehow remembering wrong at old age even with night armor she's only about 4 hits away from death while Maxwell can take far more damage in night armor.

I dont remeber well but i am certain that IS até minimum 8 hits

So... for starters Wanda should have woodie treatment, he Lost the sanity regen via planting Pine cones

An ability from wormwood

She should drain sanity when using nigth tolls

Even if it's not complete canceling, it's good enough to not need weather pain, plus duelists themselves add a lot of damage to compensate for some heals that make it through. It's like Abigail for Fuelweaver: sure, she is less reliable than weather pain to kill all wooven shadows, but those couple of shadows that FW eats in the end give FW less healing than Abigail adds via being present in the fight (her own damage and +0.405x for Wendy compared to her own 0.75x (comparison holds even against Wilson with 1x actually, although barely if that Wilson is good enough))

Dont forget Wendy does Full damage or more when Abby is on

So your saying a character that already has the lowest defense threshold in the game when playing optimally, becomes less efficient at working when old, and has limited healing options should lose one of her major upsides? Can't wait to see what nerf you suggest for Maxwell to be fair since his downside seems trivial compared to that at that point.

At least Maxwell can have followers pick up and harvest resources, carry a extra chest in his pocket that can be used to transfer resources to base without ever needing to go there, and can trap and panic mobs as well...

Pânic is an joke... It only makes things harder

Extra chest only if the Maxwell player isnt an solo egomniac that dont know how to share, because to transfer Anyone can do It Just place chest

And Every persol Will use his slots too

Did you read my comment actually? I took that into account. Wendy does 1.155x under Abigail buff

oh i read it, was just dumb on the math sorry

in my eyes the clock is better than having to heal, it is an upside...

but maxwell is still weaker than wolf and wicker, wurt, warly and some others should wanda be nerfed, there is still ground ;)

And who will build this chest? That's right, Maxwell!

Also magician hat is portable, I can't wait to play as Maxwell after rework goes live with my newbie friend because of magician's hat and shadow chester

Edit: oh god, this auto-correct on phone kills me :_(

A trap that you can setup in multiple areas in advance and stops multiple monsters from being able to fight you does not make things harder it's use is to give you breathing room if things get out of hand or you need more time which is really good.

When solo it's a free chest and as a group it's a transportation tool your group uses to quickly transfer things to base for example you can take everything from the ruins in one trip while having as many resources as you need since it's a 2 way chest it's a very powerful tool.

in the end i am against all type of nerf in a coop game, but look maxwell need a little more... not damage, but some QQL that i already said
and everyone compares the top dogs and or complain, so if not buff maxwell and the rest of cast nerf them to be equal as the others

but tell me would it be diferent from being a root chest for example? i would get wormwood place and change caracters, would not make any diference....
