Are Waterbears OP?

since this has been pretty much my most requested meta-analysis from the start I feel I owe it to you guys to tackle this subject as a thank you for reaching almost ten thousand subscribers in just over a month with that said you guys might not like what I have to say about it water bears judging by how many comments you all made praising the water bear it's obvious none of you have actually ever tried to play that build before let me walk you through the character creation process for water bears with the hopes that you realize that they make basically all of the wrong choices hey looks like you've chosen kingdom Animalia good choice they've got the most interesting gameplay in my opinion okay so from here what are you feeling bilateral symmetry good good choice brains are fun okay so are you feeling endo or exoskeleton oh okay I'm an endo guy myself but I see the value in having armor oh you don't want armor you sure you're so close you've almost backed into the arthropod guild that's got the s tears like spiders and insects well alright so where are we going with this I mean without armor you'll probably need some good evasion abilities or really solid offense right no none of that geez you're gonna be a sitting duck well I guess since you didn't go for any of those you've got a lot of evolution points left what are you going for maybe some poison or maybe some super good camouflage what heat resistance okay unorthodox but sure wait you want ice resistance too why would you want both well okay there you go what else radiation resistance okay exactly how often do you think that's going to come in handy supernova resistance gamma-ray burst resistance asteroid impact resistance exactly what are you expecting to encounter geez your lifespan is only a year oh you'd like to be able to go dormant for half a century sure why not you'll still be a Sigma the second you wake up so do you plan on banning together and fighting as some sort of an army oh you're you're gonna kill each other alright then okay so I think you get the picture the point is Water Bearers are basically resistant to everything except for the things that would actually kill them they're kind of like Doomsday Preppers actually and as a result they get killed by the millions by crabs shrimps worms snails slugs mites spiders scorpions insects and other water bears but hey if it ever runs into an enemy whose only method of attack is a laser cannon they'll be all right it's also important to point out that water bears do not have the extrema file attribute they can persist in ridiculously harsh environments but they can't live in them you get launched into space you're still going to die it's just gonna take you a really long time you want to play a good survivalist class I suggest either the cockroach rat or if you're feeling really extreme you could try it in Archaean one last thing about water bears one of the data miners was analyzing water bears and when you look through the code he found a lot of it was pretty similar to a bacterial code so instead of being like huh how did this bacterial DNA get in my sample he was like wow looks like water bears can absorb DNA and incorporate it into their own genome despite the fact that it would be incompatible yeah that makes sense it's time to publish that and everyone just kind of went along with it I can't tell you how many game guides say something like most alien like genome of any organism or some other nonsense like really it took other data miners a whole year before they realized hey what's more likely an animal that can steal genetic code or that we messed up and even though they did publish an updated study it was too late the myth had become ingrained in players minds so yeah don't buy into the hype water bears are one of the weakest classes you could possibly play thanks again for all the support over this first month everyone this channel has gone further than I ever imagined and most of you seem to want it to go even further
