wand/satff damage type change seems to have trashed autoattack and TP attacks

[Alhanelem]

The damage is beyond bad. I mean, yes, we should be using our spells most of the time, but there were times when some of our TP attacks came in handy. I often used the basic attacks in between spell cooldowns, and some of our TP attacks have useful additional effects. But consider that the first WS we learn is meant as a way to recover some MP in combat- but the MP recovery is based on the damage dealt. If the WS does 20 damage...

Some people are probably going to post and say 'good, you shouldn't be using that stuff anyway." But none of the actions should be totally without purpose, especially all of a sudden when we were used to them being handy before.

(edit) In short, this change seems way too drastic to be intentional. Our basic attacks and weaponskills alike are now no better than stone throw.
