I think Blue's personal temper tantrum is symptomatic of the peoples attitude towards this mod. Everyone on here feels its their right to have input. That may be nice and all but in the end he is the one in charge of releasing a patch. All we as a community can do is offer our OPINIONS and hope he will honor that. It sucks, but it is what it is. You can scream and yell all you want, it's not going to sway anyone's opinion (especially when your yelling through a keyboard....) Looking back at the way people have been trying to force him to agree with themselves it isn't a huge wonder why he won't listen.
There are those of us who did try using reasonable tones, offering ideas and suggestions all of which got shot down. Why? To him we are all mindless noobs who don't understand basic game mechanics. In virtually all cases when making changes, using a smaller amount is better. One example is crushing blow, before it was obtainable on many items, then with the patch reduced to very, very few 2h only weapons. Even though some suggested differently. Amp, LR and conviction took major hits, which to a point was needed, just not to the extreme we got.
As is, many say a certain build is "OP" without understanding fully why that is. Take plague jav for one, seeing 400k+ dmg is OP. But in truth most of that can be adjusted through small changes to items rather than the skill. If some of the +% dmg was nerfed the effect would be linear and mostly affect endgame items. Up to that point the skill would still function quite nicely without being killed.
