[1.2.276] More rebalancing

1) When was this proven?
2) That doesn't make sense, because then leveling it is pretty much useless.

As far as I know, it's not true. Tempest does its % damage to monsters (I think) and freezes them. If they are struck while frozen, they take their HP in damage and die (obviously). If they unfreeze, they live again with however much remaining HP after Tempest I believe, though I am not 100% sure on this fact. It seems sketchy to a degree since monsters seem to take their HP in damage instead of what remaining HP they have from being Tempested, and players regardless of party gain 100% of the EXP, right? If you can hit a monster a few times without killing it and then use Tempest and see if they still take their HP's worth, then it should prove that monsters still take Tempest's rated damage as well as the freeze-OHKO effect. Or you could just wait for it to unfreeze and check their health bar. Whatever.
