I think its hard to have a constructive idea with this update. Dev team went really over with this.
I feel like Fire and Earth were the selected pinatas in some private nerf fest. (altough i always considered fire and earth to have stuff to be nerfed, this...). I feel demotivated since i dont have much chars to play around and feeling that i need to change main main. In terms of damage output, fire mistery got really bad. Sage battles went for too much time.
I really want to read others opinions at this point because i don't know if skills are bugged or not.
Great update in some parts, worst in others.
Overall, too much changed to be called an update.
