The majority of classes that use elements in this game (Paladins, Corsairs, and Arans are the first that come to mind in this example) have the ability to turn their elements on and off at whim, allowing them only to incorporate them when it suits them for extra damage. They don't get shafted (well, Pallys kind of do, but not as much) like Magicians. Magicians, on the other hand, have passive elemental attributes to nearly every skill. This isn't something we can "turn off," but rather have to deal with appropriately with each mob. While it would seem that's no big deal, let me just anecdote you by saying at a Targa run I attended before I quit, with all my best gear at Lv. 200, I was able to spam 10-15k max Fire Demons on Targa the whole time. That's it. Big Bang was helpful, but not spammable, and regardless a mob that's immune to poison and resistant to fire screws us over hardcore.
That's why Nexon invented Elemental Reset for Blaze Wizards, and why I can't believe we didn't get it sooner. It's the perfect skill for those with passive elements who need a way to make elements only beneficial when desired, not a death sentence at certain mobs (ex. when Neo Tokyo was first released all ArchMages sighed because everything is resistant/immune to elements. We can't do anything on such mobs). So please. Big Bang helps, but it's not perfect, and Elemental Reset is a godsend. To the point where the last 10 points I have saved for MW30 will go to maxing that skill if we don't get our SP reset with this patch.
I... I didn't even mention Elemental Reset. Did I?
The point I was trying to make, was that Big Bang has become so strong that it outdamages all other skills. Even if a monster were weak to Fire , Big Bang would still be the strongest option- and it's just barely behind paralyze on poison weak.
And I entirely agree that taking these changes too seriously before they're finalized is a waste of energy, and have practically stated that in all my posts...
