Then it'd be everybody dies, because there's no way you'd be able to lockdown a "swarm" of mobs.

Just depends how big a swarm is, how many players are mezzing, and how fast they come.

The real question is:
How fast are devs to understand what isnt working as intended?

VM is a kos ability...
Power drains are useless since LU13...

Uhm, the damage nukes on the stun is a joke.

1166-1676 on the stun, and 1739-1997 on the stifle, compared to lesion at 1637-1883.

Uhm, are you kidding me? These aren't changing shit to help our DPS loss due to 30% to 15% VM. This is a total slap in the face to Illusionists.


I do want to say, Congrats Coercers on becoming #1 DPS.

Well, DPS is gonna go down some, but you've said yourself Illus's were overpowered. Were the coercer reactive's made proactive?

Just as I predicted, I figured the power drains would be the same or close to the nuke. The cast times are too long for it to be worth it, the total damage is just too low.

Hopefully they will get bumped up or the cast time reduced, but yeah with 3 awesome reactives the coercers are going to be near the top unless the reactives get nerfed.

I've never really done any detailed reserach into how much the pet casts, but this line in note was interesting....

"The Personae line of pets should now nuke instead of attempting to power drain just like their owners do."

Perhaps theis will be enough to offset the loss.

Thoughts Pinski?
