Default Re: Conceptual Balance Series (Mod)

A)What was the reason behind keeping the 1 AirGem requirement for SummonAirElementals instead of nerfing the AirElementals themselves?

----------------

B)Another thing that bugs me is the Fire susceptibility of IceDevils. It is good to nerf IceDevils, but why by adding Fire susceptibility?

1. I think it is not very thematic: Considering water versus fire, I would always bet that water is the winner. Things might be somehwat different for ice versus fire, but the IceDevils are powerful water mages...

2. It makes them more symmetric to the arch devils. Symmetry might be good for balance, but it also defeats diversity. Diversity is one of Dom2 greatest features IMHO!

Do IceDevils already get increased and noticeable fatigue when fighting within hot lands (something symmetric to cold-bloodedness)? That would seem much more appropriate to me...
