Let's say your Paladin can get 50 Charisma for a total bonus of +20 Insight bonus to Strength, and that bonus has enough up time that it is effectively on all the time. Let's also say that top gear provides a non-stacking +7 Insight bonus to Strength.

If you are asking me if it is worth it to take a second tier enhancement that gives me nearly 100% uptime of +13 Strength then yeah, that's still very very good, especially at second tier. It's better than many tier 5s.

MoBo poster is upset because Divine Might is an Insight bonus to Strength of your Charisma modifier.  Since you can now get up to +7 insight bonuses on gear, he feels like any Charisma on a pally of 24 or less ls wasted. 

KtA also comes up, but that is a bonus to damage, not to a stat.  Thus it is not affected by the new gear changes. 

Also in the thread it is mentioned that DM and KtA can both be active at the same time.

The fact that they stack is a bug. (Players should probably not be able to take both, but we haven't discussed specifics on how we'd fix that.)

I always saw having divine might as a reason not to have insightful strength anywhere on my gear, apparently I'm wrong and should cry more about non-stacking insight bonuses.

I've been trying to work out why this annoyed me, despite me not really giving a shit about the change itself because I find my Pal boring. It's the deliberate lack of context. Yes, a Pal Tier 2 ability is nice, but it exists in the context of Pal overall. You can't just compare one ability at one tier with another, and claim proxy nerfing one is okay because it's weaker than another. Some of the Tier 1s are nice compared to other Tier 1s, but in the context of their class they're appropriate. I think he knows this and is engaged in asshattery. Asshat.

Actually, it should work like KtA and be a divine bonus straight to damage.  Not to Strength.  What if the Pally is using Charisma, or Int, or Dex as the damage stat?

It's too limiting and it competes with insightful strength items.

While I agree with you, last time I bought this up, people were moaning that it was a nerf because of the loss to tactical DC's.

It can always be coded like KtA. The current DM is full Cha mod as Insight Str.

KtA: Half of Int mod to damage & tactical DC.
DM: Half of Cha mod to damage & tactical DC.

I suppose this would be a benefit to all Str focused tactical DC specced builds as they can now have Insight Str and DM to DC. I'm not seeing how this results in a loss of tactical DC.

It would no longer stack with combat mastery items, which also give an Insight bonus to tactical DCs. It would also have other catastrophic side-effects, like decreasing the character's swim score.

Ah yes, you're right. That would decrease the DC by 2-3 points total.
Combat mastery can always be changed to competence so it still stacks with the base type DC and insight mechanics.

Pretty much, there's what enhancement/insightful/quality/profane bonuses to stats now. Screw trying to fit in all those for cha, str, tactics and whatever else.

All they really need to do is finally give us a melee charisma item, the new +14/+7/+2 system means there's another 7 cha(+3.5 str mod) available over what we have now for DM while insightful str only went up by three.
