Can you make so people can re-select their barred schools maybe? I think that update just nerfs palemasters ( most of them are going to miss contingency ) and those are a pain to reincarnate

No, it doesn't 'just' nerf palemasters, it corrects a glaringly obvious chunk o' cheese. This is why we have reincarnation to begin with. Furthermore, you can easily avoid such inconveniences by simply asking about it beforehand, instead of quietly taking advantage of teh fromage. Pretty much everything here screams 'do not accomodate' - doing so would only encourage non-bug reporting in the future.

I'm interested to learn that this decision was just now made...I had been under the impression that it had been in the past... Guess I'm remembering my convo with keith incorrectly or maybe whoever told him was a bit ahead of the times...

You may say that it doesn't target pm, but it affects them more than other classes as they are the only arcane that has a reason to pick up div foci without using div spells.
I actually took the div book on my pm before the Malcathet run due the the high number of p4 incubus and succubus. I never took the time to get the epic.
Honestly, if someone is willing to waste 3 feats on an arcane build just for a mediocre epic and get no use of the foci for spell casting, I don't see a real problem or exploit in it. It isn't like they have a ton of spare feats, it's probably a poor decision in most situations.

How much a waste those feats are is up to the user some may still find the feats worth it for PWK others might find different feats more worthwhile it might even lead to some choosing to bar a different school.

Yeah...I take it just for Contingency...I don't play in the Abyss, and Contingency is DEFINITELY worth the feats, that and Premo alone make it worth it for me, even without ever having need or desire or PWK, boosted C/C, or whatever else (sure it's nice but I could care less).
It's important enough that I would LOVE to bar Div if I could and keep the epic. So yeah, there you go.
Sure, 99.9whatever% of players wouldn't share my reasoning, but nonetheless, for me it's there.
I know I'm not the only one out there who gets Div for the epic on an arcane, and either doesn't often or, gosh, has never even used PWK on a p2 Glabrezu.
