Soulrend a joke?

[GrizzlyRO]

<DIV>just wondering, but is Soulrend a joke?  Its our only spell that decreases power, 34 at adept 1.  At lvl47, how in the world is 34 power gana efect a battle?  Ive cast this on a mob and his power bar didnt even show up untill the mob cast a spell.  Shure it adds some crushing dmg and a stun that seems more like a interupt than anything else, but i still dont get whats with the power drain, its wrothliss at that level.</DIV>

To hit a mob 10 times with this spell is 999power you used up.  for me thats nearing half my power that could go to my ward or good dps.

-"To hit a mob 10 times with this spell is 999power you used up.  for me thats nearing half my power that could go to my ward or good dps." Like the previous posters have been saying. its not supposed to be used to drain thier power it also stops casting. How much power will you save if the priest mob doesn't get that heal off when its below 10%? or how many hps can you prevent if you stop that nuke from comming? the power drain is for agro only. while it can't be used on epic targets its still nice against normal mobs and named fights. not an ability i use in every fight but keep it out for when its most useful. <div></div>

Funny i looked at mine earlier today and the description iddnt even list a power drain,a t adept one, another guy said his showed power drain at appt 4, so im guessing that the coders (big surprise) messed it up somehow withing meaning to. but it was pretty mucha  joke before, no damage 37 power drain doesn t mean nothing, its as bad as qicked coil, a lvl 50 dot that does as much friggen damage as a low 20s inquisitor dot, only the inquisitor dot lasts longer, so thiers is actually more damage, at lvl 25!
