Just checked Crucible on Gladiator after 151+ wave. Is is joke? 3 of my builds (Purifier, Sorcerer, Reaper) that cleaned before Gladiator 170 waves, now can’t even take 160 waves… especially with mutator that gives monsters extra damage 200+chaos or etc. Damage is so crazy that I’m having one shot in different moments from different bosses (like Father Kymon). So crucible now is only for super DD build-casters?
It’s supposed to promote untransmuted PS as a nuke. And because nothing’s for free under the Sun, PS spam had to pay for it.
CRATE ‘Anti-Sub-6’ Masterplan (Guideline #142): If nothing else works, destroy the Crucible.

I can’t remember the actual numbers before change, but I think it evened out at max ultimate rank
iirc, Thunderous Strike (PS Spam) didn’t have to pay for it. The change is a buff for non spam PS and the damage stays the same for spam PS. The transmuter just reduces %WD by the amount that non spam PS got buffed.
depends on what rank you have on Primal Strike
Didn’t PS get like a 10%WD buff across all ranks, while the transmuter got a +10%WD penalty?
Anyways either of us is right and in the end it’s basically not a change for spam PS (as spam PS will max out PS anyways) and non spam PS got like 10% more WD.
Free.99 is a heavy price to pay indeed…
Lol, say it to all the hardcore players who farmed Ugdenbog Sparkthrower for 1,500 hours! 
I farmed them in softcore
Tell them what, that they can’t do math?

Maybe some of them got excited about the first line of PS changes just to get punch in the face with the second?
