Called it!

Just like I was hoping. Reduced, not removed entirely.

I just hope it was reduced sufficiently. Lowering the damage reduction from a max of 60% to a max of 30% (1/2 reduction to the...reduction) or 20% (2/3 reduction to the...reduction) is something I imagine would prove sufficient.

I don't even play a BRD, but I'm happy to see this.

Thing is that we don't even know how much it's reduced. I hate how they don't even specify by their own numbers the original or changed reduction.

I'm glad they're aware of it, but it's difficult to get the numbers. I personally haven't noticed a significant reduction (doing a pathetic 450 x 3 on my barrage EA shots still)

Does anyone else have better information?
