No, adding a 3rd damage type would take about 5 seconds. Fixing the bug will take longer then that - the actual coding isn't that big, but making sure what's being done is balanced and so forth, that's what the hold up is. Three types of damage does face more damage reduction, but basically it's capping issue - each type of damage is capped at how much it can contribute, and since multishot spells are capped fairly low on a per hit basis the end result is spells that do 3 types of damage can do roughly 50% more damage then spells that do 2. It's even worse if the two damage types aren't contributing equally (as is the case with Rebuke), since the secondary damage might not make it to the cap, but the primary is suffering even more under the cap. -Raesh
