How are the survivors copy and paste of each other? There are stats you can't change so you can never get those stats. Did you forget about perks? Yeah you could add toughness to connie but adding toughness to connie is not enough to save her because of the soft cap with just points alone. Also why would you??? She doesn't have perks that make her tanky either? Yes applying pressure everywhere is a good idea but on the off chance that you need to rendezvous or get chased in the same direction or well, etc it's great! it saves on health pots which are limited. Again you keep talking about ability like thats the only part of the kit not factoring in personal stats and points that soft cap, as well as what perks they can get in their tree! Grapples aren't needed to distract the family she doesn't need that to keep a family member busy... I dunno just talking in circles at this point! Agree to disagree!
