I’m pretty sure the only reason they nerfed Life Cocoon and Vers amps was because they noticed how boring their arena tournament was.
TBH, high mounts of vers feels good in casual pvp like Battlegrounds, where DPS far outnumber Healers. I wish they’d ramp up dampening or reduce healing in Arena before they injure Battlegrounds. Arena issues should have arena solutions.
Instead, they nerf passive defense in all types of PvP content, but leave the biggest gimmicks of all, like Tentacles and Twilight Devastations untouched.
