As someone who would steamroll the crew when wiznerd only to be hard-countered by a shotglass: I very much agree.
The changes over time to security and combat clearly puts an emphasis on soft-counters, i.e: X to combat Y but Y can still put up a fight against X if they're using Z.
What this creates is a far more engaging fight. People start to fight smart and the ensuing struggle is entertaining for both parties.
Hard-counters such as acid is not something that we should encourage. It's lame and boring. The option to put on another hat isn't much use, as vampirate pointed out, when the assailant has already put in another poison there.
What this hard-counter actually forces is wizards to choose the Teleport spell, which will get them out of dodge. This is also lame.
Frank is on the money. Acids should melt items over time instead of instantaneous, with an obvious message. So a wizard who's been glassed will see that he's in trouble and have time to react.
I'm of the opinion that Wizard needs far more defensive spells while its offensive spells are dialed back a notch, so wizards aren't glass cannons and more of a slow but dangerous burn. That's a topic for another thread.
