Wow... that is a BIG change .. 28% damage reduction with 4.7 sec added to recast is not "slightly" changing the spell.

This nerf isn't helping at all.  Is there a reason I'm missing that Coercers must do half the dps of their Illy counterparts?

[Roald]

<p>Wow, this is an amazingly stupid change. I thought this update was about realising Coercers needed to be buffed? </p><p>So now we might actually be doing a lot LESS damage on mobs that proc this spell? That's complete BS.</p>

You guys have not paid any attention to people saying the changes were too much do you ? nearly 2k mental 5 times with three different spells. with mild debuffs you could do 15-20k ever 10 seconds WITH THREE SPELLS!

And Roald .. This "nerfed" version will still end up with a higher DPS than the live version because this procs when the target it hit with a spell, not when it casts one.

This now looks to be a serious nerf for us in solo PvP.
