<p>The good news with this patch note is:</p><p>we finally know Aftershock is supposed to proc 50% of time ... still for crappy dmg and effect compared to Mana/Life Burn.</p><p>Well 10% nerf on Cataclysm compared to a 5:1 to 4:1 nerf on Manaburn (20% nerf), we see that in SOE's eye we're online half sorcerers.</p><p><u>Edit:</u> I typoed Catalyst and Cataclysm.</p><p><u>Edit2:</u> Thanks to Gnomie, i corrected my wrong translation with "Aftershock" (Cataclysm was in beta)</p>

Eh? A drop from 50% to 40% is a 20% overall drop in effectiveness. (10/50 is 20%). So yeah, it's the same across the board.
