Necro Empowering Grasp

Regarding:
Hitting your Skeletal Mage or Spirit Mender enhances them for 5 seconds, increasing their effectiveness by 40%.

Could we possibly get this changed to where simply casting the spell empowers the Mage/Mender regardless of whether or not you hit them? It's a neat mechanic and all but with the way pets position themselves sometimes it's sorta like adding all the fun of chasing your own merchant summon in lag to combat.

Agreed. I like this ability along with the other morph that snares and immobilizes, but even then I’m not sure if that’s be enough to make it worth using.

The ability needs to do damage along with the other effects to be a solid ability.

For this morph the only way I’ve figured out to consistently get the effect is when chasing someone in pvp since it spawns on you going forward, so you have to cast it and move into the effect and drag your spawns with you.

I second the notion, because the pet summons are “temporary” the empowerment from empowering grasp should be permanent on said summons because when a summon expires, resummoning it means having to recast empowering grasp which in turn can be a minor Magicka depravation. But only lasting 5 seconds on affected summons means coughing up more Magicka just to maintain empowered upkeep on said summons to min-max potential damage from the temporary summons.
