Yeah that bug is kind of unrelated lol.

As for the rest of the mob I apparently stirred up; you're looking at this issue the wrong way. Rather than arguing that the MSD is fine because now AM is where you think it should be, you should be asking yourself whether you think that a strange behavior from a single meta gem causing a 15%+ boost to one spell is how you want your 'balancing factor' to be instituted. I never said anything about whether or not AM needs a buff, I'm simply pointing out the fact that the benefit to AM from the MSD is way too high for a single meta gem and the mechanics causing it can rapidly cause DPS to spiral out of control resulting in a massive nerf to the mechanics bringing you back to square one with gimp AM. It's better to stop the bleeding now and get fixed the right way.

If some meta gem bug were instituted in a patch causing OMG ROLLING IGNITES to return but in the end mage damage results were finally brought in line with other classes... would you think that the bug was intended? I should hope not and neither would I.

I'm simply saying that the ends don't justify the means.
