What if unchained was replaced with inner release in Defiance?

[eagledorf]

Inner Release was a nerf. It exists to make Unchained weaker because it was too strong before. It's not actually a DPS buff because they reworked the formula going into 4.0 so that you're back where you started in terms of DPS even with IR.

SE was hoping you wouldn't notice they were nerfing WAR because they did it by giving them something new instead of taking something away. They succeeded in that, but players still sensed there was something not nice about the situation and are complaining anyway so the success is meaningless.

IMO it's kind of dishonest so it's fair that people are complaining. If they had just been upfront about nerfing WAR I feel that players would have been more receptive.
