0.17 Crawl will remain best Crawl

Saying 'we can just replace wands of haste with more haste potions' fundamentally misunderstands an aspect of game design.

Finding a haste potion seven times is less exciting than finding a single wand of haste once.

Finding 0-1 haste wands has more variability than finding n haste potions. The dramatic difference in tool availability gives different runs different advantages and disadvantages which gives them a different flavor each time.

Removing the strong but rare wands literally makes Crawl less exciting and varied. The way that you have a potions with baseline availability and wands with swingy availability is actually a strength not a sign of redundancy that needs to be removed.

lol the idea of neutering something because someone is annoyed that it takes alternating two different keystrokes instead of just repeatedly pressing the same key (even though it's usually less keystrokes total!) is the most :crawl: thing ever

adadadad also won't automatically stop if you go below whatever threshold of HP, unlike tabbing.

If the fight is so easy that you're considering just holding tab, you could just hold tab and not whirlwind?

Hey if you want to argue for neutering it for balance reasons knock yourself out, but pretending that you need to do it because alternating two different buttons is just too arduous compared to pressing one button the same number of times is hilarious.
