i'm now actually thinking about designing a stamden specific skill that would be really defining to them and specifically more useful in pve because i do want them to be more unique.
Again, I like the idealism of redesigning skills to fit Stamden, but that's going to be way down the road. These performance changes are going to be the focus for quite a while. We've now seen three major patches this year and this was the first time community suggestions have seen some life beyond passives, and they were all very small-scale. Asking for a wholesale redesign of skills to meet "thematic reasons" right now isn't happening.
As I said before, letting Stamden rot in the cellar for another year because Magdens might get tilted they don't have a stranglehold on frost damage until a full rework comes through is just terrible logic for not making the change.
We don't know when they would do that tbh. We don't know if it would be a year or next patch. They said they weren't going to do big reworks this patch but stamsorc just got crystal weapon. The truth is. We just can't put a date on anything or rule anything out.

The performance update is 100% the focus right now. They've made that abundantly clear, and it's been going on for a while. There's still plenty to do based on their roadmap.
