Does Force Shock need a damage increase?

    Force Shock does NOT hit at 3 different times anymore. It is 3 types of damage at once which means that it only procs elemental drain and the like ONCE. This is like a >6 month old change, and I want to say it happened with Orsinium.

    Sustain with destruction staves is miserable, and that's with elemental drain on the mob. I would be all for a cost reduction % instead of the 3600 magicka back when you land a killing blow. Elemental drain also doesn't proc on DoT's. The more you know.

    What this person said...

    sustain is horrid. lower the cost and MAYBE increase the damage slightly to help mag/stam imbalances. I mainly play a stam Dk and love it... but i also enjoy playing my mag sorc. I love the frag build but it's impossible for me to sustain on long boss fights which kills dps. I had to switch to a heavy attack build just to play vet trials somewhat efficiently. I have much stronger aoe but single target lacks :|

    It hits 3 different times for Scathing Mage and Nerien'eth though. It counts as 1 projectile, but its still has the 3 hits.
