[MegaBlues]

The nerf to defensive mage casting will come from nerfing defensive scaling casting tools and weapons. You already need Will to cast from every tome except the Verso iirc, and those are notoriously rare.

The blanket change suggested isn't really making Will better, it's just making everything else worse to compensate. Which in the end will just make basic attack builds that don't rely on elements stronger. That's why I think that it's best to improve Will by making it do more rather than making everything else do less. Dumping Will will leave you with no FP to cast with, very little tome scaling, and none of the suggested bonus. One stat also shouldn't be needed for every build which doesn't solely basic attack. Not every mage casts with those three elements, so nerfing everyone to get to them doesn't make sense.

But in the end, whatever changes go through will be tested and refined. I just hope that my point is getting across.

(Also sorry if this comes off ranting or repetitive, using mobile.)
