Thank god!

The thing was ridiculously overpowered as you could stack up over 100+ damage with delayed hits and one hit kill anyone.

It's still going to be good and I don't understand why people are crying over this, the damage reduction was roughly 10% whilst void remains broken with a 20% buff to the ranged strength instead of the 10% it should have.

Very disappointed by the change without a poll,oh well.

We do not poll balancing changes.

Still a drastic change to just implement without letting people know. Disappointed you reverted back to the zero transparency days so blatantly.

100% disagree with the change. "I've been playing since 2006 but jagex made me quit 11/20/2013"

I prefer you approaching nerfs like this in the future. I don't think polls should be used for decisions like this. The only downside is that it takes you a long time to come to addressing a problem. Ballista was talked about for months on end about how broken it was in PvP, it would constantly crop up on Reddit and on the Q&A, but nothing came from it. Reminds me of the days when NMZ was a huge problem, but you tiptoed around it for a good year.

Glad you've finally done something. Doesn't particularly affect me, but it's a point in the right direction.

I'm also going to be concerned about all the raids rewards too in regards to nerfs/buffs. How long will those take to get addressed? Same time frame as Ballista? I hope not.

Cheers.

Wtf? I thought the problem was its lack of delay upon switching from something like knives/msb.. So it was like a stupidly powerful crosbow after the recent "nerf". Who was complaining about the damage? The accuracy might have needed somewhat of a nerf, however, so I agree witht that part.
