Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback The Patch 6 change to Transmutation Stones is the most unnecessary nerf

From the Patch 6 notes: Fixed Transmutation Stones not being destroyed when their casters leave the party.

It is completely unjustifiable to me that Larian considers this a fix and the behavior pre patch 6 isn't simply intended. Wizard is already the weakest dedicated caster across the board, and Transmutation is one of its weakest subclasses since its built to be completely passive. Why in the world the Transmutation Stone is supposed to be destroyed when the caster leaves the party is such a weird and unnecessary choice.

There's also no merit in claiming this is TT or RAW justification because BG3 is more homebrewed than mom's chicken soup. Please undo this change and leave Transmuter alone. Wizard's weakest subclass doesn't need a damn nerf!

I think it was done so there was actual reason to PLAY a Transmuter.

Pre-patch, there was 0 point having a Transmuter in your party because you got 100% of the benefits from a Hireling in camp handing out Stones and doing your crafting.

To say nothing about having multiple hirelings and companions dishing out multiple stones to party members.

Also Transmuter isn't Wizard's weakest subclass when Illusionist exists.
