wish they would upgrade soultrap from magic damage to oblivion damage. people might use it then.

as title says.
Soultrap is an awful ability except for filler when leveling a char for the first few levels since the damage is so horrifically bad and the morphs dont do much beyond tiny bits of utility.
if converted into oblivion damage it will become more useful without being overly good, a great middle ground.

thoughts?

If you build around it, it is not that bad for PvE. You can cast it many times and it is a DoT. I had a magicka build with Oblivion's Foe and a few other DoT's and it was fun and endless sustain with the Consuming morph. Warden with bear and lots of Soultrap and lots of Fetcher flies is a very relaxed gameplay. It scales from magicka and magic damage and it is better then to turn it into a static oblivion damage.

I saw in another thread on here someone asking for it to be made into an execute damage over time ability. I think that might actually see it used on classes that don't have an execute like mag dk and magden.

I use it on Magicka tanks as an extra dot with Structured Entropy and as a finisher to get back resources on trash.

but thats an awful combination in content harder than overworld or normal dungeons, the dots would be incredibly low the bonus hp isn't worth sacrificing for a weak dot where you could get a shield or CC and the resource regen from trash would only be viable on any bosses that have trash, i mean as a back bar ability maaaybe it'll help with trash but tbh if you are running low on resources vs trash mobs you have a build problem to begin with which kind of reinforces these 2 skills arent helping much with that
