I would like to reply directly to you for this.
After seeing the nerf I came out f**king HOT on reddit this morning. After further clarification and explanation from this post, it is much more reasonable.
Thank you and the people who interact with the community everyday. As anyone who has ever worked in CS knows, customers are the literal worst. As a customer, having this clear and concise communication about an issue and resolution from the company in a matter of hours of it popping up is amazing.
E: When you are in full mage gear and landing constant barrages with no splashes, you don't think anything of it, as that dps output is "normal". When you are in full mage gear and notice more splashes occurring than "normal" it is a bit triggering.
If our players are happy then we're happy! That's all that really matters at the end of it all.
We could have approached this better in regards to the silent hotfix and avoided the overnight confusion and frustration players experienced, but we'll learn from that for the future!
Thank you for replying so positively <3
