Wrapped in Flame???

What was the point of gutting the one and only cluster/passive skill in the entire tree that elevated RF to a decent, more accessible level?

Wrapped in Flame:
20% increased Fire Damage --> useless (we can have more than enough from tree/items anyway)
Cannot be Chilled while Burning (absolutely useless in most cases + you can avoid chill in a thousand ways anyway, flasks, uniques, mods so on...)
5% chance to Cover Enemies in Ash on Hit while you are Burning --> Infernal cry itself makes this pointless along with hinekora, which I still find shocking that it wasn't changed at all.

So, yeah I'm curious, what's the logic here? Why nerf a cluster that helps an almost niche skill to be a bit more popular and playable while there are hundreds of builds/skills out there that outperform RF for 1/5 of the investment?

+1. Seens like 30-40% less damage with this nerf... Later I'll update my PoE and see if it is going to be off-meta RF or minions/traps league...

@Edit: after the conversion my planned damage went like 12% less damage... Not that bad as I thought.

And don't forget it's 3% less life regen/second, which is ~240 life/sec on high life RF(haven't tried low life RF though).
Two-handed - Mop
Dual Wield - Slippers
One-handed & Shield (close combat) - Brush & Basin
One-handed & Shield (ranged) - Hair Dryer & Mirror
Main-hand & Off-hand (evil witch) - Sponge & Soap
Why not make this skill legacy and add another skill to balance the leagues, why do you think it's beautiful to fix what the player has obtained, and even fix it so that useful things become completely useless ?!
