What's up with spells now?

<P>Ok i'm currious i was under the impression that spells no longer leveled with you as you leveled and the only way to improve them was to get spell upgrades or to increase your int. i was going though my spells today to figure out if there were any tier 5 spells that i hadn't upgraded to ad3's that i should since there wern't any upgrades in the new expantion.  While doing this i noticed that mastery levels were back.  Initially what got me is that there was a mastery level back on Nullmail which is now supposed to upgrade automaticly as we level up and isn't supposed to have any spell upgrades now it masters at 250 ordination and doesn't improve any beyond that i know in beta there was an upgrade to nullmail in tier 6 but that spell was removed when they made it auto upgrading with your level.  </P> <P>My questions are these:</P> <P>Are spells now improving again with level much like they did pre combat release?</P> <P>If nullmail is going to become an upgradable line again which in its current level caped state it needs to will we be getting our lost upgrades back?(spell eather needs to be an upgradeable line or a spell like magi's shielding that levels with us from the time we get the spell.)</P>

My understanding (tell me if I am wrong): Oddly, our spells automatically *downgrade* as we level (for constant int), and we need to increase our int just to keep them even. Yes, this is messed up.  I hope it is a bug and not a "feature".

<DIV>not certain about the auto downgrading as we level i was going to check that when i hit 51 but had to go afk to answer the phone so i put af on and group ended up killing enough to get me the last 1% i had to ding while i got the phone so i didn't note what my damage was pre-ding <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV>

<DIV>Im still not 100% sure about it too.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>But im quite sure that how it works now is your max dmg related to your max int.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>So at lvl 51 null dist will do max dmg at 357int but at lvl 60 it will do the same dmg at 420int.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> Thats ridicoulasly bad if its really like that.I will ask my fellow warlocks when I log next time and compare dmg with them.</DIV>

I can attest to the fact that the spell damage does decrease when you level. <DIV>I have hit 46 and 47 both times the damage has gone down, not alot but enough that i had to rasie my int by about 12 just to stay even.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Ravyn</DIV> <DIV>47 warlock</DIV>
