here is how i currently see this, my huntress has currently got around 1300 hero attack with a 254^ ret.
The said thing is that my mage also level 74 with about 300 hero attack atm and a 140^ staff has more dps then my ranger.
This is how i see this,
The mage who is imo supposed to be the tower builder, quick healer and upgrader, and should be able to still kill a mob if needed, has way more dps then my speced out huntress.
The huntress is the ranged dps class, not the mage.
Yes the original ret was op, what i suggest is getting at least rid of the second nerf to balance things out.
