Can we have a moment to talk about Whispering Cant and how Mages are unstoppable because their weapons have 120% scaling, and Elemental Attack can easily be stacked up to beyond 100 for damage higher and more reliable than critical hits?

Silence's role was to prevent that overpowered shit that mages are to run rampart. Now it is. And I'm very much not happy with the situation of the game right now.

If only Silence itself, as a stat, was changed. Made it so it acts like Spelldaze or whatever. Or maybe if silence just made it so all spells are put on a 3 round cooldown after they're used. Bam! No one would whine that they can't use their class.

That would be a much better alternative than a 'hit or miss', 'you either can use spells or not'. I just hate how everybody forgot -why- Silence exists. The reason is because the game balance and development always revolves around stuffing all the OP and broken shit to magic and magic damage since it has "counterplay". Silence's pretty much the only way to stop that from giving the spellcaster a free win.

Now we don't quite have that anymore. Atleast not in hope to save our own asses. One single class now is the best one in the whole game because it has no counters anymore. And even if Silence gets them?

Heron Feather. Throatopener. Whispering faccing Cant. Wash Away. Cleanse Potion. Asinine Status Resistance. Running away for 1 or 2 rounds until the silence runs out. You know... All the goddamn easy single-click buttons or cheesy strategies to rid of something that nowadays either doesn't exist or has to go through a literal wall of S.RES? Big meh.
