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.

Being amplified actually does a lot to crazy things. Sucks that those things it helps with doesn’t really benefit pve, and maybe the only opportunity I see it being used is maybe dps phases for maximum swap/ads and reload speed. Outside of that it doesn’t really benefit in pve. Last season mod gave a DR whenever you became amplified and I thought that was really good.
