Obviously nerfing Pictomancer would have been the simpler solution here, but anyone who's been around a long time knows they try to avoid nerfs and just buff everything else instead because it's the better PR move usually.

I don't personally care if the raids are easier because of it, since I'm content with extreme difficulty. I prefer it when things are not a nightmare to PF so they don't force you into forming a static to get the necessary competency. But that's just me.
