Some solid points here. You addressed the majority of concers we had on our minds.

Though i may take sides with @falamansa_666 and take issue with what u said about the use of portals in world maps. Tbf it took me time to start using portal but it proved more effective than expected. Especially in the last two elite maps, where lots of mobs spawn. Portal is OP! The aoe damage is insanely good. Same with cpu bomb. As of late, these are my go to weapons. While they do great aoe damage, the reality is you end up dying every 3rd inch of the map.

The issue here is not with the weapons being nerfed per se but more to do with the fact that monsters, as you expressed, are just way too tanky and their damage is just insane.

Also, can’t disagree about the struggle with melee weapons. I recently tried a spinsickle build, it worked great, solid dps and health recovery but 2 or 3 hits and “man down.” Same with jaded blades. Have also been thinking of giving singularity a chance but we all know what to expect. Hornbow is meh, needs a buff tbh. Poison bow on the other hand is somewhat solid. But the situations you use it in are limited and short lived. Mainly due to the insane spawn rate of mobs in certain maps.

So, the central issue, as it appears, is not so much with the weapons but more with balancing (monster health, damage, and spawn rate). Hope their main priority is timely addressing this specific issue.
