Can anyone explain why chimera was nerf? from 345 to 290? last time i check it got a 5 dps buff to each hits from 340. Now its doing less damage per pips than hydra which does around 38.33 per pip for 6 pips comes up to 229.38 round off to 230, while chimera does 32.22 per pip. If the 38.33 per pip value was kept in line for 9 pips it would have come up to 344.97 rounded off to 345. This means it was already correct to begin with and is undeserving of any nerfs and should be reverted. If there was any reason this spell was nerf id like to know.

Just an added not the calculations were made per head. Overall dps for each spells per pips are:
hydra: 115 vs chimera: 97
115x6=690 97x9=873

As a variable one could argue it does a lil more than Dr Vons monster 720
But chimera as a triple can easily be blocked by spirit shields with no added benefit to the user. While von can be easily followed up after a poison/pierce etc with added benefits to the user being a drain.

So for chimera to even remotely compete it has to do high end base damage at 345 per head.
