Anyone else mad about Jagex nerfing Shattered Worlds THAT heavily, or is it just me

Dbow+EoF wasn't worth hotfixing for the 2 years it has existed.

Slap a 10s-30s cooldown on the D2H spec. Problem solved. Nobody cares outside of SW and it keeps it on par with Dbow specing which was never an issue worth fixing all this time.

How do you not see a problem with that?

The minigame isn't fun. Removing the only thing that was fun from it doesn't somehow make it any more fun. If the problem was that only one buff was fun maybe the buffs need to be looked at again to make SW actually fun. Do you know what the SW meta was prior to the Dbow EoF Chinning meta?

It was playing tag. Hitting mobs with a corruption blast/shot and waiting for the cooldown to come back up. If you did it right it had no risk. So fun and engaging! Not. It was a complete waste of fucking time and getting Bladed Dive was such a fucking snorefest I never bothered grinding for Greater Dazing Shot and Salt the Wound.

Now the meta is going to be sitting with Persistent Rage to build to 100% adren, using barricade, running in, doing as much damage as you can, slapping down your cannon, then running out of range until Barricade is off CD again. Absolutely no risk, terrible reward for the time spent. So much fun. Not.
