The "nerf this, nerf that, and nerf everything in between" attitude

[zcrash970]

snip.

A nerf happens when something is over powered that needs to be weaken. If it was being exploited, then it would be a bug. Since it the abilities actually didn't do what they were meant to, then they were bugs.

I imagine the bugs in question are the ones for Rapid Fire and Dark Arts. I know Dark Arts was suppose to fade after one use but people just input commands fast enough to get the effects to be buffed by Dark Arts.
As for Rapid Fire, I believe the complaint is that it was ueed to instant cast skills while in Gauss Barrel. Rapid Fire is only meant to be used to lower the recast timer by 2.5 seconds if I am not mistaken. This has nothing to do with the cast timer added by Gauss Barrel since cast time and recast time are two seperate things.

These were bugs, not nerfs. They aren't desired. Unfortunately, the removal of these bugs did weaken the class but I rather have them fix broken skills rather than them just leaving them.
