Blessings Rebalanced

In Patch 6.50, Plarium is doubling down and admitting the fact that the Blessings in the current state are too powerful and need to be rebalanced for a healthier state of the game. This has not gone well with the community who were accustomed to the great Blessings that helped many players in clearing different types of content. Essentially, the Blessings are getting nerfed overall, regardless of their rarity. The nerfs can be really felt at the lower level of the Blessing such as 1-Stars to 4-Stars. At 6-Stars, the Blessings can be seen having the same effect as they were having earlier.
