And, while some of the errata is questionable ... there are some things that are obviously more powerful than other things which create problems in the game. The orb wizard locking down monsters for a whole fight, especially elites and solos, made tough fights trivially easy. It isn't going to be perfect (it is, basically, the same people who made the powers that needed to be errata'd in the first place) but errata is a necessary evil. The time it takes between being ready to print and publishing means they might make some mistakes.  Also, I doubt it was a case of "let's make the powers really good, get people to buy the book, and then nerf them to acceptable levels so that the next book will sell better". I believe the quote goes "never attribute to malice what can be explained by incompetance". It's quite possible the book was finalized without them realizing they had errata'd a similar power from the previous martial power. There's a lot of moving parts.  I'm pretty sure the elemental weapons are probably going to be where nerfs would land. The problem is how trivially easy it is to achieve 'specialization' in cold. Letting people have the 'best of both worlds' with all the benefits of specialization with none of the drawbacks, is the problem.</blockquote>
