Recent Smoke Bomb Changes

I was just wondering why smoke bomb's particles and damage was changed.
Personally, i liked the old particles, but my main issue with the change is that now only one smoke bomb can actually hit a mob, so instead of a cast making 3 hits on each hit of a mob if you cast the bombs together, it only hits once each hit (if that makes sense).
This kinda messes me over, as I built pure for smoke bomb, and now I basically do 1/3 of my old damage, which is probably one of the biggest nerfs I've ever seen... It also pretty much nullifies the third and final upgrade to smoke bomb, as the 3 smokes don't really do a lot anyway, its mainly just used as a weak ranged attack, and the 2 extra bombs tend to just fly to the side anyway.

Anyway, rant over... what do you think about the nerf / change?

 

ikr look at the desc of assassin, 5/5 dmg 4/5 def "can find weak points and do massive damage" yea right. this is sort of sad ;-;

 

Its a smoke bomb. I know that breathing in too much smoke is deadly, but like what did you expect.
Its smoke, if you want to use a REAL weapon to kill mobs, rip a branch from a tree or something or pick up a garden utensil of some sort or use an ACTUAL WEAPON, LIKE A BOW. Barber scissors aren't that effective.
Plus you assassins are already polluting the crap outta Wynn and Gavel throwing all your bloody smoke bombs everywhere.

 

"weak points"
assassin is supposed to exploit an enemy's elemental defense

 

how manu 'ticks' or 'hits' smoke bomb deal (total) ?

 

m8 gl on that one doing massive amounts of dmg with ALL ELEMENTS

 

I didn't say that...?
