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.

Yeah, Amplified and Arc as a whole need massive buffs. It's the weakest subclass in the game, and the only Arc subclass that was doing kind of ok, Arc Hunter, just got a pretty big hit to its survivability because of how op Prismatic Hunter is.
