Outbreak and grenade launchers will shred it regardless thanks to Lunafaction and Well. (because they'll both still be required, they just won't be as good.)
So much challenge, wow.
You guys have to realize this.
You aren't stopping people from using well if you nerf it, you're actually making it more of a requirement.
The desired effect is to not feel forced to use it, making it worse only creates that, there's no reason it wouldn't.
Boss design is the root of the problem, Well is the symptom.
We don't fix deep gashes with bandaids. Blood with still seep.

Part of the problem is that no matter how badly they nerf Well, it will still be a must pick. There’s nothing in the game that can bring autoreload, healing, and empowering all in one ability. I doubt they’d ever nerf any of those aspects of Well past the numbers the equivalent abilities have (rally barricade, healing rift, empowering rift) and because of this, Well will always be a must pick so long as they keep making static bosses that do nothing during DPS phases.
