Haven't had to deal with it yet so this is my take without having to get gayed:
it's a gimmick weapon only a few people have access to. What's next, poisoned weapons, just have people with 30 agility running around hitting people to troll them and there's nothing you can do in return?
I get that it's "fun" for the person using it, but it sounds game breaking for those who get hit by it. Going to make a lot of people rage, us old timers can handle it and will come back, but what about people who are relatively new to crpg?
