One of the hardest things to change in game design are elements that work but could be working better. The Huppermage in Wakfu serves as a prime example. It’s not that the Huppermage is useless or can’t be really good when played with skill; it’s just that the class has some issues with very rigid rune management, a lack of damage output at low levels, and small effects requiring lots of effort to set up. Hence why the team is rebalancing the class with the game’s next major patch, which you can test now.
Among the changes already open for testing are reworks of secondary elemental effects along with a more straightforward elemental mastery system, generating based on the last rune generated rather than all of the runes possessed at any given time. There’s also a smoother ratio of spell damage to cost. You can check out the full set of changes in the official patch notes, or you just download the test client and find out that way.
