No pet gear thankyouverymuch. That would not help things at all.

I'm perfectly happy for us to be t2 dps as long as the addition of debuffs to our class is actually going to be useful/crucial.

Things that do need adressing are pet survivability, and the effect that we, the caster, can have on it. i.e pet cure all spell and a detrimental window.
Looks like this is getting some attention, so overall i'm happy with the proposed changes.

Not overly impressed with the idea of passive aa abilities, unless we have some way of manipulating the situation to make them trigger. random ftl

I like passive abilities. We are already so damn encumbered with spells and shit, we don't need any more. The randomness of these abilities would be no different than procs, so I don't see anything wrong with them. I'm kind of excited to see what we are going to get.

Odeon

Who said anything about new skills? Just not random chances at scoring an effect.
As an example, casting a certain chain of 3 or 4 spells to trigger a new effect, like a mana boost or a de-aggro or a stoneskin trigger? this would give people the option to change casting orders to suit the situation.

As I think i'll go insane if I spend another year + pressing the same buttons in the same order over and over every night..
With a level cap raise we'll get at least 1 new spell anyway..

hmmm actually i'd like to see a new signature questline that results in an epic spell instead of choice of gear. A truely awesome spell with a flashy visual that's a long and arduous task to get :p

If they finally reworked the HO system it would make things more interesting.

We are not getting any new type of spells in the upcommin xpack

yeah, I would like the casting order to determine certain effects since it would remove the repeated actions that we currently go through. I think they should have some sort of visual representation of a chain event happening, kind of like a HO.

Hmmm, a double spell cast buff would be nice for Summoners.

"Spazmo" Group buff (until cancelled)
Grats each recipient in your group a dimensional link to the Spazmo creature that will pop out and cast the same spell that triggered its emergence.

On any successful hostile spell this has an 8% chance to double spell attack....


Could even add beneficial spells to that maybe...

Odeon

I suspect that Spell Double-Attack will work its way into gear and such sometime soon anyway

Wizards were the only ones with the chance at it on their mythical, now all (evil )casters can get it from Anashti miracle

Obviously it would need to be low % chances, as even getting close to 50% permanant double spell attack would be insanely overpowered.

Spell auto-attack would be interesting :p timing our casting order between auto-spell hehe

Deson

Never been a fan of it and hope it's never as important as it is for melee, since it's a reward for not pressing buttons.

Double spell cast doesn't work very well on DoTs. It only double-casts the initial tick. Which wouldn't be so hot for bats, Fiery Annihilation, WoV, and Shattered Earth, but would be nice for our DD spells.

Didnt think about DoT's, oops.

I just want my illy to Double Spell-attack lol.

Still, it'd be a nice little bit of utility for you guys. The necro version could also use a little bit of health to reduce the power cost as well.
