It is wholly possible they intentionally tuned things lower to see what players do with the tools given to them.
It really feels like they got burned on the reaction from the community with Ninja and its 'nerfs'. Mayhaps they didnt want a repeat burn and a buff to underperforming skills is more welcome than nerfs to OP ones. Hell, even a bug fix has gotten some in the DRK community up in arms (Dark Arts being usable on multiple skills in a row rather than its intended single use).
