Back when we had the Elemental Well system, there was a mod called Well of Ions, which increased your melee damage for a short time when you picked up an Arc elemental orb. They should bring that back, and merge it with Amplified. It would give Amplified a more offensive function, and synergize better with the Arc subclasses' close range abilities.

The general sense of this post seems to be that amplified should work better?? Please correct me if I'm wrong! It does seem less appealing, but you do get increased mobility and I'm pretty sure (don't know for a fact) you get increased reload speed (similar to the old outlaw perk) from it as well... it has synergy with prismatic fragments that lead off light buffs, and as it's easy to proc it works well. It doesn't have the survivability as the other buffs, but I do like that it is different... there should be a more diverse range of effects as void/stasis/stand do all lean in one direction.
