Dalen, you are an alright lad and I really do appreciate that you are trying to communicate despite the outry but it does not really matter whether you nerfed the damage by 14% or 20% or whether the class had any buffs or not. You clearly play the game, I have seen you in the cities, and you must have noticed that some warbands run single a single magus or engi in their groups and those do really well. You could have investigated what skills do that much damage and make changes accordingly, people are upset because you nerfed damage across the board yet that nerf will not affect magi/engis in cities are already usually at 4/5 stacks and you yourself mentioned that you only lose about 4% damage at 5 stacks.
So in reality this change did not do much about engi/magi overpeforming in cities but upset a lot of casual players who like to play rifleman/havoc and snipe people from afar - and no one complains about the strength of those builds nor were they ever needed to be nerfed.
