Did The Wall really need to be nerfed?

I would have made this a poll but there isn't an option to do so. 25% elemental damage reduction was very nice but you gave up being able to dodge at all even if The Wall wasn't out. 13% damage reduction make it non viable I think. At that point you are better off with another tower shield and Void Darkplate.

Why not a less drastic measure like changing it from 25% to 20% and testing that? Why go to straight halving the bonus of the artifact without doing anything to mitigate the drawback. The Wall was a pain in the ass to get by the way.
