Whomever was right about rdm phalan 2 being stronger than pld but rdm phalanx 1 is better than rdm phalanx 2 with capped merits. I think this scaling is ok because it's more potent casting the one that targets urself. SE could use this strategy more. Make spells like temper be pt member targetable but increase the potency when cast on self. I think this is a great idea. Hmm what else could we add it to. . .
