The most recent patch kind of erased an entire build archetype, water combo mages just won't even be able to exist anymore, its impossible for them to perform the full combo now.

River Sword is hardly a DPS gain now as well, and almost has no synergy with water atm outside of Ghost using it to cast with, and idk if I want that to be the only build that is able to viably use it.

I think if we were to set River Sword at a -30% Water resistance debuff for a 3 or 4 round duration again it'd be fine, but having the status consumed on water damage feels awful for the builds it supported before, to the point where it probably will end up just becoming a dead weapon as a result.

There's a lot more counterplay to -30% water resistance as opposed to -40% water resistance as well, in essence a -30% water resistance debuff is the same as Hunted, Absolute death etc.

Or if you want it to still consume the debuff, it needs to be a way bigger water weakness, 40% damage up is not a good trade off, even a 50% damage buff breaks even in momentum efficiency, given the weapon is a melee weapon its exceedingly hard to just be able to hit and proc later when it matters.
