People complain about the nerf because like other content in this game it simply was not needed. Steps of Faith... like really people needed a nerf for that? lol
Same reason why AK back in the day was nerfed like 3 times, Quarn bees got nerfed, etc..
It is really sad that SE did not feel that increasing drop rate for dungeon items for Relic was a priority, first Relic was hell and now doing another Relic it's just.... ugh
