You're great and I love you but this change really didn't address any of the complaints the playerbase has with the wand system. This just seems like a band-aid to settle the grumbling down for a short while, a way to placate the masses.

I think some great ideas exist in the posts below. Maybe not as stand-alone replacements but that's fine, damage redux doesn't need one be-all, end-all system. A lot of complementary and supplementary ideas could be taken and implemented to give a more dynamic and diverse system.

Reinventing the wheel isn't a bad idea but I definitely see the discouragement it could bring to you guys to have to code up something entirely new. I understand.

I hope you guys reconsider the system. It doesn't work as is.

Thanks for the game. Best ever.
