The first cast of the ‘JoE’ weapon is fine especially when there is a dust storm running. The 2nd cast is not effective for me anymore as the board is filled with blue gems and only a few brown gems to explode. Anyway, it became a weapon for the shelves for me after the nerf.
I kinda like what they did with ‘arboreal crystal’ weapon. It creates leafstorm and explodes green gems. It makes sense to me.
