How about an Enfeebling Magic thread?

Changes to group 2 merit spells would be nice too. Likely actually being able to cast full duration/effect Phalanx II, Bio III and Dia III... I'm actually missing Dia III and Bio III because I took Phalanx II to 5, and I rather have 4/6 spells then 1.4/6 spells...

Screw Bio III but for gods sake get Dia III to at least 2/5. Dia III is your best enfeeble, it's worth more then Slow II and Paralyze II put together. Phalanx II is very bleh due to scaling issues. Your better off going /SCH and accessioning Phalanx.

You have these choices,

Dia III
Bio III
Blind II
Paralyze II
Slow II
Phalanx II

Out of those, Blind II is useless. Bio III is only good at 5/5 for really long solos. The leaves Paralyze II / Slow II / Dia III for enfeebles and Phalanx II for buffs. Out of all those Dia III is the most potent and useful. Phalanx is only good at 5/5, so using it requires you to dispose of Slow II / Paralyze II.

This very reason that I honestly dont see why se dont just increase the max total merits for each group to 20 or even 30 and quit bs. Personally for rdm I would just rather have all those given as spells directly and just have group2 affect elemental potency myself but whatever.

It's what I've been saying for ages. Make all the "merit" spells available via NPC vender and change the merits into "potency / accuracy" merits. Slow II becomes "Slow Potency", Dia III becoms "Dia Potency" and so forth. This way you still get all your spells but also maintain the ability to pimp them out. Currently SE can't create "Tier III" enfeebles or a Dia IV due to the merit spells existing the way they are. It's become such a hindrance that they making lol spells like Break / Addle that mostly do nothing.
