It's one of the few fun traits left on thief. It's called improvisation for a reason, what exactly are we supposed to improvise by shaving some % of cds?
The change clearly shows that the balance team still has the same mentality that caused them to give "tradeoffs" to especs. Your game has no esports, stop prioritizing bland homogeneous "balance" over FUN. I won't even go over how this change actually is a nerf because quite honestly I don't care. deadly arts was already barely viable ever since the change to mug, but I was still playing it. You know why?? cause it was still more fun than the brain-dead gameplay of SA.
there's no sind stream to whine about thief balance this time around so i put it here
