Seeing as changes to light were made recently think this topic is done until new examples can be brought forward.
I personally think Lightspeed could use some gameplay expansion for readability.
People will say that there's detriments to it, and make it sound more complicated than it actually is but there's an undeniable power to Lightspeed that many will consider unfair. That isn't to say it isn't countered by things like AoE-- but not everyone is an AoE mage, and even against an AoE mage that thing is game changing. Just consider any other melee range person and their plight with the same obstacle, and how you bypass it all with one effortless click.
Most fighters don't have full bars of spells either (as people are still using things like mana ripple, tackle, strike), so pretending like Scattered Lights wasn't worth a spot on your spellbar either said you had a ton of spells and options anyways, or that you're exaggerating things to make it seem like you're under attack. But most of the complaints about the nerf were from dojo-bums. They're competing with each other to find the most broken things, and they're focusing on a very select set of trees. Light isn't suffering from anything that most the other trees have not suffered from and it's not any worse than most trees. It's just not as crushingly better like it was before.
