Why was it needed to standardize (nerf) kraken gear? If it was in the hopes to attract players to buy Blood gear it's completely unnecessary imo, since Blood is relevant and will be relevant anyways since you devs had mentioned new tougher maps coming out in the near future yeah?

Right now clearing with the Blood setup is 100% similar before and after the nerf of kraken gear. So, the player base who have Blood Gear (artifact mainly) won't seem to have an issue, but there is also a large majority of players who don't have Blood gear specially the artifact, and they get affected extremely negatively.
