i really can't say anything abt dante's nerf bc i barely played him and i do think the wf fandom has a habit of grossly overreacting about everything. sometimes nerfs are necessary and healthy and raging against every nerf that happens is stupid. that being said. the nerf has brought up a lot of genuinely important conversations about how wf's balance is really not in a good place right now and i hope the devs do actually approach that in a meaningful way at some point

#damage 3.0 completely gutted every damage combo that isn't viral/heat #the devs KNOW viral is too strong which is why they keep making enemies who are immune to it #but they're afraid of nerfing it because the backlash from the community would be immediate #corrosive being capped at 80% armor strip made it virtually useless for a lot of high-end content #content in which enemies are getting ever-higher amounts of armor that HAS to be stripped to keep your damage meaningfully high #and now that final 20% has been given back to us as emerald archon shards #a resource that the devs said wasn't intended to be 'necessary' for any build... but IS now necessary for 100% armor strip on most frames.#explosive weapons are basically dead #crowd control frames are basically dead #with ever-increasing numbers of enemies that are just immune to cc #the meta demands the use of frames as just weapon platforms & room-clearers #and dante gets a (bugged to hell) patch within A WEEK of releasing to nerf his 3 & 4 #while other room-clearers like saryn (whom i love but c'mon) remain untouched???#idgi.#wfblogging
