Mods are for players that want to CHANGE the game to a specific way to be able to do so. Patches are tools used by the company to fine tune THEIR product.
Now, if people are too lazy to mod the game back (or even to search to se if someone else did it already) to how they want to play, i'd say that they will keep complaining and larian will probably ignore them.
It seems to me that they intended to not be simple to heal yourself with an element. As of version 1.0.130 it's still possible. You just have to use the Shield spells to boost one of your resistances to 130% if you have attained the cap.
One thing i'd like to ask is if they intend environmental effects to reduce the maximum resist (i.e. your maximum resist is 60% to air under Rain without Shields).
I feel very happy with all the changes so far. It seems weird to me that a tactics game forego ALL tactics at the end game. And i think it's completely fair for the game to cheat for the enemies if the game itself can't provide smarter enemies.
