LNC/DRG Ring of Thorns requires a buff!

[DagAsmodian]

*EDIT* I still believe that RoT could be somehow made more efficient but it is ok the way it is i suppose as most arguments are valid. Consider this thread closed. ROT does NOT REQUIRE a buff. But it would be nice to see it made into a more unique AoE skill when compared to DS.


AS it is right now Ring of Thorns is pointless when compared to other skills.

Ring of Thorns
100 Potency

150 potency when combo with Heavy Thrust. Small AoE Damage around user.

Doom Spike
160 potency in straight line

I realize the difference in AOE ranges here but a well placed Doom Spike hit multiple enemies while still doing higher damage.

Ring of Thorns depends on heavy thrust for high damage when you can just as well use Heavy Thrust and initiate a better combo with True Thrust.

My point is, overall when solo or group battling, Ring Of Thorns is less then effective and requires a review of it's usefulness.

The radial area is useless when it depends on another skill like heavy Thrust (which you'll only use every 20 seconds.

Share your thoughts and like this post so devs can get a look at it. OR at least point me a better way to make this known to them.

I suggest either increase the potency or add an extra effect to complement it's lower damage.
