Midseason Firebird nerf? (Edit: nerf reverted May 4th)

@Balbero-2581

But he is too invested in his Bubble, to see, that his own Idea would lead to much mayor Problems, if others Skills would be fixed to proc the Set Bonus, by now.
Leading to a Playstyle, where you run with Meteor or Hydra, where you are back in old Tracks, by just raising one Ability and not playing around of the Core of the Set itself.

Also

I totally forgot the mention, that you def. cant “fix” Explosiv Blast, so that the WoW would trigger the FB-Set

You would only get the old Boom-Sorc, but on L.SD+Crack combined !

Everyone would run with

• Desintigratio

• Teleport

• Explosiv Blast

• Magic Weapon

• Frostnova
  AND

• Diamondskin

Leading to another Damage reduction. Your Shilds would be compleatly unbreakable, while you sit in the Middle of everything and waiting for your Firecycle, to pop the Frostnova

Not only that there would never be any harm to you …
But the Playstyle alone would also be pretty boring, just sitting on one Spot and waiting for the Enemys to die.

You have a point, but I’d enjoy it. Not sure if I’d use diamond skin though.

Like MicroRNA already posted the ‘nerf’ has been removed.

Hi everyone!

We wanted to share transparency on the hotfix released today. Our original fix with the Mirror Image and Firebird’s 2-piece bonus was intended to remove an unintended interaction that was causing errors to occur on the back-end. Upon reflection, we realized this was a mistake to release a mid-season nerf to Firebirds. Through the recent patches, our team has been able to correct the back-end errors and we have reverted the nerf to allow Mirror Images to proc the Firebird’s 2-piece set. This should restore the Firebird’s power to its original state, while also hopefully improving the lag players are seeing. We appreciate your patience and feedback on this. Thank you!

Edited the topic title too.
