Suggestion Please rework Defiler's Endless Nightmare Spell

[Yavool]

Up until recently, the wiki had the Tier 2 Necromancer's (Defiler) "ultimate" spell as a damage over time/heal over time spell. Recently, it was changed to "spend 200 mana, deal 10+.1 damage per intellect per second for five seconds, knocking the target up."

This spell has little worth and I am requesting that it be reworked to fit better within a Necromancer's kit. The damage over time/heal over time was functional, as it mixed decay and drain soul together; this one is both extremely expensive for minimal damage: a Defiler with 40 intellect is going to do about 250 damage over five seconds for a cost of 200 mana; by contrast, a single bonespear will deal 450 damage for 130 mana for up to 20 blocks...that is, dealing 450 to *every* target in a 20 block line.

As an "ultimate" spell, this spell pales in comparison's to a Necro's L1 spell... please revert back to the DOT/HOT combo, consider it being AOE, or incorporate something more "ultimatey" for Defiler's end spell.

Thank you,

the wiki does not realy say this, but the skill also gives the target slowness and blindness for 5 seconds. and i think those debuffs is its real strenght. not the damage.

I have used it, but only in PVE. The debuffs you speak of are neither on the wiki nor the /skills description, so I had no idea.

You kinda need to use things in PVP as that is the primary source for class balance.

EndlessNightmare isn't the Defiler skill anymore, it's a variant called Nightmare.
In comparison, it's a slight DoT instead of flat damage and has less CC (because Endless is kinda crazy).

Any chance to get the wiki and skill updated to reflect it's effects?

Class balance needs to reside in both PVE and PVP.

In either case, I think the damage on it alone could be increased slightly as it received a huge nerf, from 300 dmg (mistakenly) to 81.

Fair enough; what needs to be done to make this happen? Thanks.
