Well, the nerf was meant to stop people from just cheesing their way through the game with Lightning Spears. Before the patch, you could get over 60 castings of Lightning Spear in a single playthrough, which was enough to clear any area with ease. Besides, this actually gave purpose to using Amber Herbs, since there was none pre-nerf.
