Stop crying guys. This is your rdps patch but somehow WHs got punished too.

This comment has no value. Feedback on Dev error is why there is a comments section tied to the proposed patch notes. The Powers will likely ignore it as they seem committed to folly, even so...

I have been testing Magus Daemonology tree this morning and here are my comments:

Pink Daemon range increase buff does not seem to affect skills like Warpfire, Agonozing torrent or Chaotic Rift. I see how it might make sense but still, it gives the feeling that something might need more thought there.

Warpfire
- AP cost is higher than Sorcerer´s Disastrous Cascade (while being essentially the same skill). I personally would not mind the trade of if Magus could cast it on the move instead for example
- Is Warpfire remaining elemental damage intentional? Would not it be just simpler to make it spirit as well to keep up with the rest of the skills from the tree?

I believe the range increase applies but the tooltip does not update it. The issue I have with warpfire is the damage is great vs the cost. With the AP tactic it does make it more manageable, but I don't think the pet tactic stacks with other AP regen buffs (I could be wrong)? The damage from warpfire is very static and is not burst damage which to be effective currently require a guarded magus vs other more burst dps. Having the instant 20% dps helps tremendously with more flexibility since the pets will die so fast and taking unearthly shriek for the extra heals is a difficult trade off to make now with how good other tactics have become.

The new m3 does not work with warpfire either which would actually be a great solution to this because it would provide a better incentive to save an m3 when you have the option of being able to run in and provide heavy burst with warpfire and then back out.

Frankly i see everyone is not happy about pet longevity at orvr so why pets got excluded from group heals range. It wasnt like that on live and while this wont fix thier constant dying it will help quite abit. I cant see the point from that exclusion

Hey! For close combat SW need not 100 Initiative, need mass detaunt, and hes be good for global pvp. If assault stance give all new bonus and mass detaunt instead initiative buf - its better.

Or make new abiliti for assault free "Mass detaunt" like WH/WE. And u see сlose combat SW at all WB.
I believe you can do it.

Mass detaunt of WE/WH will be nerfed in the next patch after RDPS patch.

The strange part too is that there is no heal daemon/turret mechanic for either class other than blue horror having the tactic to gain 50% healing received to the player or Engi's spending a slot for, Auto-Repair matrix for all their turrets and relying on being healed themselves also.

There actually is already a mechanic for all pet classes where the pet receives 25% of the incoming healing on the player (not overhealing) as long as they are within 30 ft of the player.
