What a useless piece of shit change. The only good thing I can say about it is that it wasn't a nerf. :lol:

Out of all the great(and not so great) suggestions, they decided to do something no one proposed. Oiy. Why oh why would I waste EL ranks on fire other than for steam. Completely useless and disconnected idea on what wizards want or train for.

I expected it to be underwhelming, just not this underwhelming.

If it can't be done in like 10 minutes, Estild isn't interested in doing it unless it's for a P2W event he's going to get a cut of. His thing for the past few years has been wanting "quick win" ideas, which almost always means useless ideas but to where he can still say he did something.

Man, just nerf steam instead of trying to up a lore nobody uses.

this is correct.

sup.

IF they want to create more alternatives for wizards, upping fire lore is not the way to go.

Nerf steam and up the other bolts to have around the same damage factor but with real indirect debuff, big stun, or disarm when a boulder hit it, stuff like that.

Steam is so powerful AND cheap, other bolts are bleh even with buffs.

Disarms and big stuns added to bolts would inevitably be given to critters, and wizards have plenty of disables as it is.

The answer is not to nerf a spell to make other spells seem better by comparison.

is this like a weird approach to someone trying to go the other direction of the road, when someone says wizard tears are what keeps gemstone going?? someone that plays a wizard wants it fucked for 80% of the builds that are going.

I know bro

But you cannot buff a lore thinking it will make other bolts competitive with steam. Steam is just OP.

Why would you use 910 when steam is 2 times cheaper and will almost do the same damage in a single bolt? Stuff like that.
