Damage procs, Rage, and Rad Armor attacks are going to be nerfed. Stone Melee, Titan Weapons, and Dual Blades will be getting more defense debuffs.
I don't want it, you don't want it, but our opinions do not matter.
Those things are currently allowing farming 20% faster than the next best thing. The devs have declared war on that.
That's not very logical. Rad armor can already cap out against Fire easier than against S/L, so if Rad Armor were more dps than Fire armor, it would have already been the choice.
It's actually better to give bosses Build Up than any of the sword powers. The damage gained is trivial, it's only active 25% of the time, and it still leaves a low chance to hit.
Even just giving them Fire Sword Circle, the worst of the sword powers, will still murder your on occasion.
