Every other combat T2 has at least two T3 evolution options. The Preatorian really comes across as the more generalist T3 pick, especially considering how little it has in common with the Warrior.
The biggest hamstring to being a Lurker is you are locked to Ravager, whereas Warriors and Spitters have a choice between the versatile Preatorian or their more specialized T3 evolution. Preatorian and some of its strains have a helluva lot more in common with a Lurker than a Warrior.
I don’t see any reason to not make the change, but I’ll make this thread to see other’s opinions.
This isn’t diluting or changing anything significant considering this already is a concept for the Defender and Sentinel strains, since they both can evolve into a Preatorian further down their evo line.
