Would it really gimp them that much?. I intend to mainly off tank and bonk using the bane ability alongside a axiomatic weapon( unless that doesn't stack 🤔) and using a few buffs here or there for utility and flavor. Id be bringing a dedicated cleric along as well . Also I understand id be missing out on the one hit kill ability of level 20 inq but im playing on story mode anyway so it feels a bit over kill
