It's heartbreaking but I see its power. It helped me solo Flawless as a Hunter in Prophesy. I saw the weapon as a survival tool. I wouldn't bring it into GM, but raid encounters are the best for it. The stun is still there, HP drain is still there, just need to hold the drain a little longer then slam. After realizing its power I was hoping there wasn't much noise from the community to grab their attention, but they were aware. I will still use it in raids, the nerf is not a deal breaker.
