Spell Balance Suggestions

[Left Brain]

Without giving specific numbers...

Life Drain used to be a good, reliable nuke with a tiny heal on a low cooldown. It was probably Occult's best spell, but it wasn't particularly overwhelming in it's power.

The damage has been nerfed by 1 MD and the cooldown has increased by 33%.

It effectively has gone from a .6 efficiency nuke (POW/CD) to a .4 efficiency nuke, putting it well below almost every other homing in the game.

I'm honestly more confused then anything, truth be told. It was good, but it wasn't obscene. It was the only base occult spell that made you feel good for going into the tree.

Maybe a slight increase of CD was needed, but not...this.

Is this math done with the heal in mind, as you'd have to take into account the fact that the spell does damage, and heals the user for the effective damage it does. Not to mention it's a homing, so you can never miss it.
