Blizzard II nerf for BLM too severe

[Dale]

I have always preferred Fire2 to Blizzard 2 also, at least for damaging purposes. So I'm not sure why people would say blizzard2 did more damage than Fire2 in Astral Fire. That hasn't been my experience.

I found blizzard2 useful for kiting around lots of mobs. That's where I believe it really shined. But I never considered it an optimal form of damage.

However, I do think the nerf to blizzard2 was unnecessary. It was probably to balance out summoner like one poster suggested. That was likely the real reason. .

But I think the Freeze improvements are a fair trade off. So over-all, I think this patch has been good for our class and the harm it's done grossly exaggerated.
