So enough time has gone past once again for me to provide my thoughts on the most recent Aquamancer changes:
>Purifying Aquae is now usable with the reduction to 6 crests for its effect activation but its change to main class was a nerf since there is still nothing really worth taking Aqua main class for and thus limits its usage. I personally don't think it's worth being and really, REALLY wish it wasn't changed to a main class skill due to it being so situational in the first place and the amount of time needed to set it up even with the changes.
>Wild Waterfall change was kind of in the right direction but didn't actually address any of the issues in that its effects/damage are really mediocre/not worth the momentum and FP so it's still unusable.
>Brine Blade crest consumption from 3 to 2 crests was an incredibly small buff that also didn't really change much for the spell (setup, mediocre duration, mediocre damage buff with the current mage/autohit meta and I still think it shouldn't have a cooldown for what it does.)
>Refreshing Flow change was good! I think it's in a fine spot now and doesn't have to be touched any further.
The other issues in my original post still stand since nothing else was addressed during the update.
