KayOS packs are a mixed bag, some of it is very good, some of it is kinda meh, not much that's actually bad, as they're high hp parts, so they at least have that going for them. In 5 packs I've gotten 2/5 very good parts, and 3/5 meh parts, but the meh parts have some use, so they're not a total loss.
1/5 awarded for the annoying "buy this in appstore" link that always tends to be under the mouse pointer when you end a mission, and opens the link automatically. Grrr.
The popular gnome bard is a recepie for slowing down your leveling. Monster hp is based on your gear, if your gear is super high, then so is monster hp. My lvl 12 orc ambidexer who started as gnome bard is fighting 18k hp enemies. My lvl 12 troll dark knight that started as half-orc cleric(low cha) is fighting 800 hp enemies. Same amount of ascensions.
Honestly, ALL healing spells are a liability. I've got a lvl 12 ambidexer with heal IX, and any time where he's taking enough damage to heal, he's basically taking more than heal heals(IE: he's wasting time and losing more health), he's always always ALWAYS better off attacking.
