Nerfing most control spells and letting "Wet" casually double electrical and cold damage kind of shows what kind of gameplay is being promoted here.
I think they refuse to understand control is a viable way to play a spellcaster and that some people actually enjoy it much more than blasting away with reckless abandon and unlimited rests.
There will always be mods luckily. But we'll have to wait far beyond the initial release date to experience those.
