It hurts a lot, it really does.
Why though? Do you want to dis the people that got this game up and running so you can play it today?!
I understand that there are differences in variants for balance reasons... But to point out something with that change right there. There is NO reason to put in on the prime in any way shape or form.
The prisma gets higher base damage, base crit, and with that elemental excess equals the same status. The only edge over it is Primes crit multiplier.
In every other stage 4 evolution the prisma performs better than the prime.
Buff the prime to equal the prisma's crit and status and base damage, that way its the same, with a little wink at a higher crit multiplier to thank your founders.
