I finally hit level 61 and went to look for some spell upgrades until I could get some masters or at least adept 3s. What I found is a little disturbing... I was very much looking forward to getting a replacement for Ghastly Shroud, our AE physical and magical mitigation concentration buff. I currently have the older Adept 3 version which wards (mitigates) the party against 564 physical/174 magic damage. The Adept 1 replacement to this spell, Abhorrent Shroud, is 549/181.This simply cannot be right.I can understand that Spiritual Circle is not scaling now and is locked at 58. At that rate it will get an upgrade at level 72 or so. Likewise, I can understand the debuff lines staying at the same stat debuff percentage depending on spell quality--- in theory the higher-level debuff replacements cost more to cast (which they do) and have a better chance of hitting higher-level mobs (which I'm really not so sure they really do). However, concentration buffs like the Shroud line absolutely need to scale up to be effective in tier 7. I hope this is just a little bug or anomaly. If not, it definitely needs to be addressed or there will be little to no need to upgrade spells at 61+... and the further into t7 we get the less useful we will become.<div></div>
