Why Banu Haqim and not Mesu Bedshet (Followers of Set/Ministry) ? Auspex instead of Obfuscate (and why Corruption is bad)
With V6 in alpha, it's the second time the Clan of Faith is not called like they name themselves "Mesu Bedshet", while Banu Haqim got respected enough in game to have this treatment. The Setites are probably one of my favorite clans and it seems more and more that writers don't understand it or have a stereotypical idea of it. For example in V5 they have been rewrite as "less dogmatic" about Set. It was always the case, cults of the clan have implanted in places taking local "masks" to lure people in the religion by an angle they know for slowly revealing the "truth". But it also created various interpretation of the dogma with very few things forbidden (advocate for Set failure and worship Apep - to an extend). It was with the rewriting of others clans to purge them of their cultural roots and beyond that I feel writers unable or unwilling to handle correctly the clan.
Now, to talk about Disciplines and in an extend of what I talked before : Corruption. Corruption is too me the quintessence of not understanding the clan. Corruption is a Discipline, some say "Dark Presence", that completely remove their mundane ability like IRL cults to subvert and recruit people. It's not their ways, their predatory skills, their vision, but just Discipline going brrrr. They don't need Corruption to do their job (just like Nosferatu do not have Auspex but that's an other debate). What they need is Auspex (and Serpentis ofc). For ages the gnostic clan, the clan of transcending reality spiritually, the clan of religious experience, sensations, etc did not have Auspex. And that's a shame. Sure I see the appeal of Obfuscate and "whoops I disappear" but frankly I never bought that. Presence make sense, their are a clan of leaders. Serpentis make sense for obvious reasons (ok, why not some elements of the witches branchs and Path of Corruption in it). And if you want to changes their Disciplines : Auspex make more sense to me than Obfuscate.
