i've played quite a few maches in quite a few different chassis on the pts, (in all classes)
and for the most part the skill tree nerf is a good thing, there is only one problem i see with it.
is assaults, in particular those who are forced to take a std engine.

i have tryed a few maches in my MAL-1R (4UAC5) std300
wile it sounds good on paper (nerfed laser and gauss) to bring the uac boat, the agillity nerfs made (one of my favorite builds) it hell to play,
for a atlas (also a std mech) the slow torso twist is making twisting damage ineffective. this might not be a problem for most of the clan assaults (exeption the dire wolf) but slow (due to having to take a std engine) is assaults realy have problems ...

wile i think the agility nerf is a good thing over all, i think some assaults (mostly is) who have a low engine cap ore are forced to bring a std engine will realy need some help (try running the mauler with its standard 300 and only torso weapons...)

note the proposed twist speed will still leave the twist speed way below what it used to be..

a posble way to fix this problem is to give std engines a +20% twist speed bonus, this would help a load for, atly, maulers,...
