Personally, I am glad the splash damage has been lowered ... i always thought it was absurd get hit for 40+ when you never really were getting hit ... it was irritating to jump over, or dodge, a fireball but still get hit for basically the same damage. It was a losing situation vs a high level mage everytime.

At < 75 fireball, I hit for 20s direct hit to the face, high level mage splashes for high 30s ... it sucked, plain & simple .. there was no way to win .. you turn your back to evade & heal, you were still getting pwnd by 40+ splash damage in the back.

I get why the high skilled mages feel completely nerf'd ... and it must totally suck from that perspective, but for us mere mortals, we have a fighting chance now & that is a good thing for the game overall.

As Arkh stated ... "Adapt"!
