Add dreadknight to the list we talked about it during the meeting. If you think I was joking @Zelphril because he can confirm we were serious about the conversation....

I don't doubt you were joking, all I heard was "soulleech literally heals me for nothing" and we didn't come up with any numbers. What do you suggest?

Couple last second things, @Balance Team

Dreadknight: soulleech 80%->100% of damage dealt over duration

Paladin: Does anyone have a suggestion on how to improve crusader's consecration? Getting many reports that its very underwhelming.

Irish how long was the duration of Soulleech? Do you think we should be increasing the duration instead?

I think the point of this buff is to make the heal actually mean something. If we increase the duration yes we do increase the heal, but we add more damage and add more time to how long it takes the heal to go off.

Alright in that case 100% seems fine to me.

Ever since the damage was removed during Citadel the skill has been underwhelming and IMO the weakest final skill of any class.

We can ether keep the same affects, but increase the radius, or add in a new affect. I remember last map I suggested a few different things.

Perhaps:
  • Keep the radius 5, but all party members within the radius gets extra stat buff for the duration of the skill(I would also take out the blinking of the group symbol, so its easy to tell where the area is)
  • Increase the radius to 7 and add extra peal to the class; anyone within the radius takes less damage, or the paladin can intervene on the damage they would have taken, and take it for a reduced amount.
I don't think the damage should be readied, but the skill needs more love.

I think the second idea sounds the best. @0xNaomi - is this possible to do?

Last one: As it turns out, melodicbinddings didn't even have a base slow, it only scaled with charisma and started at 0. I increased it by one because that's the value we originally had planned to increase it by.

That probably explains why it's felt underwhelming for a bit.

Generally speaking a 0 potion amplifier tends to be level 1. Just throwing that out there.
