a lot of things have been discussed/argued/fought about, the staff needed slight toning down, the buffing of other staves was brought up several times. In this patch Fatshark made a step towards balancing the other staves out a bit, touching up two of them a bit already to see if it’d make a difference.
Keep giving feedback, they need it. They won’t get it right in one go but don’t expect them to, adjust feedback based on their adjusted balancing and keep the dialogue going.
But also read other threads and try to ask your questions etc there to give a more centralized discussion, I see a lot of people make multiple threads about the same classes/weapons now. It makes for very watered down discussions that could be a lot more constructive if all combined!
The main worry for beam was basically this
it requires at least a little bit more thought, coordination and stat balancing now rather than simply crit + trait, but that’s my personal thoughts on the matter!
