As previously noted, I personally welcome changes to abilities if it promotes a more well-rounded challenge/gaming experience. That being said, it seems this is simply an issue with whether the devs should be making changes to promote balance or if it's wrong to do so as it alienates a subset of players who have become accustomed to certain gameplay expectations. You are certainly entitled to your opinion. If that's not your goal then no problem whatsoever. But I do agree with your first statement as my goal would certainly be better balance. I wouldn't go as far to say what I think is irrelevant it's definitely relevant if the goal is better game balance as that's what the facts and my assertions are meant to support. Many of us actually enjoy fighting awesome and powerful monsters at the end of a contract that take more than a wink and a nudge to slay them. Standard Igni as it is and Firestream as it was are both examples of abilities that are/were far stronger than their damage dealing counterparts. I welcome balance changes whether it be via nerf or buff, whatever it takes to achieve 'reasonable levels of balance'. If anything is arbitrary it's that assertion right there. For example, the Whirl Facerolling is also clearly an issue but why not make the animation and attack stop once your stamina is depleted? How can Geralt keep going ape-shit hurricane with his stamina completely gone? It's also a slippery-slope fallacy to suggest that because a few unbalanced abilities still need to be addressed that all the fun will be completely sucked out of the game if they are nerfed. Ideally all balance issues would be addressed and corrected accordingly. Lastly, your reasoning is fallacious by assuming since the game still has other issues we should allow other imbalanced abilities to remain also. You really think it makes sense to able to 3 shot an enemy that is marked with a red skull icon meant to indicate you have little-to-no chance of even defeating this opponent? How does that even follow?

This means it feels more in line with other abilities in the game by doing 'reasonably comparable' damage (quotes added to avoid another misquote) considered in conjunction with other factors such as that Firestream can't be blocked or parried like a melee attack, etc.Īlso, what I meant about my comment on playing GOD mode was derived from the video you yourself linked where the guy uses 3 standard Igni's to kill a 'Red Skull' which was also a town guard for that matter.

Plus if you read what I actually wrote instead of twisting it to say what you want it to say, I wrote 'rather balanced'.
