For those that haven't seen, the effect they've added to elite sirenic/tectonic is to add a 3% damage addition inside sunshine/swiftness per piece, up to 9% total. This is kind of insane as it's a no effort damage edition locked behind another item that will likely cost a ridiculous amount of money.

To put this into perspective, upgrading from NO helm/top/legs at all, to t92, is a ~6.7% damage increase. This will now give 9% in ult (high uptime) from TWO tiers. This essentially makes the 2 tier difference from t90 to t92 better than an entire tier 1 to t92 gap. Ridiculous.

Hey!

I'm going to remove the effect for now. I think that the majority of the feedback in here is correct and sentiment is shared by the combat council.

I'm very glad we showed it on stream early (I nearly didn't) so this could happen.

We'll discuss something more interesting and less 'busted'. Some of the suggestions in this thread are pretty good (some are entirely unfeasible).

The other Elite Dungeon quality of life changes should be unaffected.

Thanks so much for caring about this as much as I do.
