Considering i've seen a DH/VA lose all of 2 fights out of like. . fifty, i'd say it certainly warrents checking into.
But I have said this at least one hundred times, and I feel i'll have to say it at last a hundred times more.
Impure element is broken, breaks all the game's balance, and needs to go!
And yes, the reasons for the nerf would be: Its fairly easy to stack up enough crit to always crit even a heavy faith/luck build. So now you're just getting free 100% Lightning attack added to all of your hits.
Roundtrip is the worst offender, barring void refract nonsense, because despite each hit being half damage, it still gains the full lightning attack to each hit. So it can end up doing the full damage +200% lightning attack if both crit.
But I also don't feel like every strong thing should get gutted just for being strong.
And there's other similar issues in the game, like Ymir fists and verglass getting massive ice attack.
Summoner Evokes, Dancer skills, Lightning criticals, Verglasses, Devil Tome spam. . . Anything that really seems to just do absurd damage is either an excel weapon, or abusing impure element.
Impure element needs to go.
But since that doesn't seem to ever be happening, I feel it should at least be consistent.
And for it to be consistent, it needs to hurt lightning critical skills users, who gain the bonus damage to their attacks.
