Hi, thanks! Glad to hear you enjoyed them! You know you're doing something right when you have people hugging your nuts all game.
I haven't been following the patch notes too closely, but from what I remember, I don't think it will affect us too much. The Shoot First cooldown was actually needed. It's pretty broken how I can drop virtually any class in less than 10 seconds when I pop all my cooldowns and double open. I don't think the damage reduction of our abilities will hurt us that badly. We're losing a little bit of damage in some places, and gaining slightly less in other places, but they're also making our rotation slightly more energy efficient.
The only thing that really bothers me is the 3 extra seconds on the cooldown for Backblast, but I honestly don't think it will matter that much. We already do an insane amount of damage, so I think we will be perfectly fine in 1.2. Just, you know, not for Huttball.
