Spell Balance Suggestions

[Diggy Doggy Wolf]

So allow me to reiterate what he means because from what I can tell, your response completely whiffs the purpose of his request like somoene shouting koby and shooting a brick

NERF piercing strike

BUFF Arc of Devastation to compensate

It's not wrong to request not a buff to the tree, but a LOGICAL STAT SWAP amongst the intermediates and masters. Arc of Devastation as it stands right now? Unironically weaker damage, and higher difficulty in landing in comparison to piercing strike, the autohit homing that lands so long as you're within 15 tiles.

Make piercing 13.5 damage[maybe bump the delay before teleport?], and bump arc of devastation's damage by 1 (and maybe travel speed to equal lightning javelin.)

It would be like Tsunami[Master] being weaker than Tidal Wave[Intermediate]....Which it kind of is because tidal wave has lingering heal ticks and tsunami doesn't. [If I'm wrong on that someone correct me with an example rather than word.]

Also, anyone using any tree stacks power unless they're a fool...

SO AS A SUM UP OF WHAT I'M SAYING

nerf piercing strike

buff arc.

Lightning has enough damage in its tree as it is, I just think it needs to be swapped around so that the power really shows itself in the intermediates and masters considering that lightning javelin and lightning burst are lethal enough.
