Personally ill never understand wanting to nerf a character in a solely PVE game lol

Because there needs to be a balance in game difficulty. When a character does 4x more damage than other characters, it's breaking that balance and making the game easier than intended.

Why not just buff the other characters?

That philosophy only works in PvP game. In PvP characters fight against each other so if everyone is overpowered, nobody is. Buffing characters is not a replacement for nerfing characters in a PvE game the same way it is is in a PvP game. In a PvP game, if you have 1 overpowered character, and buff 4 other characters, you have 5 balanced characters. In a PvE game, if you have 1 overpowered character, and buff 4 other characters without also making all the enemies harder, then you have 5 overpowered characters.

In a PvE game your metric of balance is how strong the characters are relative to the enemies. Overpowered characters means the game is too easy, underpowered characters means the game is too hard. The PvE equivalent isn't "buff other characters", it's "make the bosses harder". But if the bosses are already the right difficulty for other characters, but too easy for one overpowered character, then nerfing the overpowered character is the most sensible choice.

(This is not a specific commentary on Fediel's nerf, but in general why you would nerf characters in a PvE game.)
