How can we be DoT Mages with no DoTs?

[Eloah]

I must be missing something. SCH still has AoE, it just got nerfed. Holy says hi, which was nerfed long before.

The other two healers have been spamming one spell for the longest time now as well. Welcome to the club.

Yeah, the whole "Holy says hi" crap is moot beacause you wanna hear how Holy was nerfed for 3.0. "Deals area of effect damage to nearby enemies. First target is hit with 200 potency. All targets afterwards take 10% less damage up to a maximum of 50% reduced." Wanna see how Bane was Buff/Nerfed for 3.0 "Spreads Bio, Miasma, and Bio II to all targets in range, the first 3 targets receive 100% potency with the 4th and beyond receiving 50%". Now I am no expert, but it seems to me like they evened out to 50% in the long run. But the new Bane will "Hit the first enemy with 100% the next with 80%, the third 60%, the fourth 40% and the fifth or beyond with 20%". Now again I'm no expert, but that looks like a bigger nerf than Holy ever got 50% is understandable, but 20% is pitiful.

20% of Bane is 126 potency, which is more than 50% of Holy which is 100. That's not counting the 250 potency of Shadowflare.

There is a difference in that you can't spam it though.

Now that is the 20% potency, NOW, when we lose our 3rd DoT that 20% will be lower. And also as you indicated it cannot be spammed. These are DoTs if they don't tick for the full amount of time they lose potency, which makes it worse. And for right now Shadow Flare is one of Our DoTs, but it will not be once SB is released.

No, that's the potency after the changes. I don't think you realize how ludicrous SCH damage is. It needed a nerf badly.

And I still see Shadowflare in its abilities.
