Restoration Staff - Force Siphon - Remove Cast time from Base Ability to make it more Competitive?

Perhaps, group play (dungeons/Trials) would still need to be looked at.
Solo play it'd be fine, as you'd have to sacrifice a backbar to the resto staff in order to use it.
Hmm, but that poses an interesting question: what if the stamina cost reduction for skills was removed? It would homogenize skill costs, and allow for the introduction of such things as staminasteal. Though this is beginning to get off topic into a larger area of discussion, if you do wish to continue it, I have no problem.0 -

Such a skill being beneficial for solo play is not really open to debate if it is OP for groups. Most of the base game changes made in U14 were specifically due to sustain.0 -

Hmm. What if, instead of a flat bonus, it instead granted the player Minor and Major Endurance? Or just one of them? Means it'd be more based on how the player is built themselves. Essentially functioning a little like Hircine's VeneerEdited by Avran_Sylt on 9 July 2017 22:450 -

First of all, there is a reason competitive raid groups do not run Hircine even when stamina dps are in the group.
Second, both of those buffs are already available, readily from many sources. Major endurance is the most common buff present with all stamina users. It comes for free to any of us. Free, no resource costs, no gold cost and no crafting costs. Free trash pots dropped throughout the game.
Realistically speaking, Zos is not going to provide a significantly different buff for stamina that magicka for similar buffs on alternate morphs of the same skill. imho0 -

✭✭✭For magicka cast it on back bar and enjoy red mountain procs on damage bar (main) as long as it is up.
About all its good for.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭Force Siphon is utterly useless....
I agree. It was used prior to the changes about 4 months ago. When Zos homogenized magicka return, and other skills, it makes some pretty useless and this was one of them.
Homogenization of skills and such short changes creativity and to an extent nullifies the play as you want since it becomes use the skills that are easiest. #ZosVission0 -

✭✭✭Sounds InterestingAn easier way to give out minor lifesteal and on top of that another buff/debuff would be amazing. Minor lifesteal is very underrated.1 -

✭✭Sounds InterestingI would love to use siphon spirit instead of elemental drain. Major Breach comes from pierce armor anyways and minor lifesteal would come handy.
Quick siphon would need a rework but we can't await minor staminasteal anytime soon. I can only see here complete spell and name change.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭Sounds InterestingAlso note you can apply elemental drain on multiple targets, but not force siphon. It also aggros the boss. It's a bad choice for healers in most cases.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭OtherSkill used to be great.
Then the champion system and homogenized buffs systems ruined it and turned it into dog poop.Make Rush of Agony "Monsters only." People should not be consecutively crowd controlled in a PvP setting. Period.0
