yea I'm pretty sure Protoferno counts towards the casters DPS. I think the issue is that dumbfires that cast spells, like:

Blah's Forge of Ro's Engulfing Fires of Ro hits somemob for X amount of damage

I think the problem might be the second apostrophe, which isn't in the log from protoferno since it just hits, doesn't cast spells.

The dumbfire agro change is good and bad, depending on how you look at it. Good for soloing/grouping, since you can put it down and not worry about it getting agro and dieing immediately (if you cast it first, or having a wandering come by and smack it) and then having to wait to recast it. But the downside is the increase agro to the caster on groups of mobs, previously the forge's hate would be split off as a second entry on the hate list (reducing your chances of getting agro), but now it adds to your hate.

I find it funny that with lu24 our agro abilities actually got worse when you factor in the frost sheild nerf and now forge of ro's nerf.

and soe in their infinate wisdom gives us a [Removed for Content] puny less than 1k average 500 dehate on a 25s timer to counter balance that.

what a croc.
