There was no perfect answer for grandfathering. We did our best, now please try to move onto something more constructive.

>>with 812 IF I can't maintain anything more than 1 basic meditation and a basic+expert form outside of combat

You appear to be doing something wrong. With 620 IF I was able to:

Startup Meditations Seek, Bastion and Contemplation. Wait 30 seconds for my IF to jump back up to 15%.
Startup Forms Bear, Dragon. After a few minutes my IF was back up to 20%.
Startup Berserk Cyclone.

With this I was able to not run out of IF while out of combat. 6 strong abilities, all started with no reliance upon mana or harnessing, cambrinth or other junk.

That being said, we do have a few ideas for feats that will help your IF usage. Once choosing a Path is live, abilities from that Path will consume less IF. There will also likely be a maneuver that increases the IF min regen limit to 50%. Maneuvers to reduce the restrictions on meditation are also being discussed.

>>Anyways, if dragon or eagle is thrown into the mix(which don't even work AFAICT),

They work, the buff just isn't as useful for HLC. As a HLC you are underhunting by 30%, and a to-hit buff is not going to do much. Once higher level/boss type critters are available they'll matter again.

>>I would much much rather have more zerk power that allows us to shrug off damage, disablers, and stuns in order to get in close and do damage.

You do have a berserk that allows you to shrug off stun, immobilization, knockdown and other detrimental effects. You can choose to stack this with whatever other abilities you want.
