Semblance wasn't changed.

If you're describing to me questions you ask in the comments, you also need to transcribe them to the page.

As for the comments themselves, it's not a matter of how much damage he's able to do from it. It's the fact that it's able to be applied directly under an opponents feet, which activates it and traps them with little in a way to avoid it, and renders them completely helpless.

There isn't any balancing on this, the ability itself, that entire part I just mentioned above, makes it overpowered. Time semblances tend to do this, as they simply give the user an insanely high advantage over their opponents by either slowing down or speeding things up to ludicrous values. There's ways to do them right, but this ain't it.

Also, we've seen "mage" characters like Weiss being able to use quite a few different methods of combat, both with and without her Semblance. There's no such thing as a "Main attack" only the best attack for that situation, and given the 1001 things Dust can do, Mage type characters likely have a tool for every situation. Mix it up!
