The mechanics on his 1 were completely different. range affected how far apart the salvos were from each other, instead of the explosion radius of each salvo themselves, tempest barrage also wasnt 1 handed. I dont even think it could be cast in the air. You also couldnt cast multiple tempest barrages at the same time. It did used to have a 10 second duration instead of 5 though, but its so much better now.

Before the toggle ability changes, undertow also used to cost 75 energy.

Basically, he's been nothing but buffed, with a small hit to the duration on his tempest barrage. If you dont like him now, You DEFINITELY wouldnt have liked him then.
