Magma Shell NEEDS A BUFF!

I love ferocious leap dont get me wrong, but I want to use a ultimate where I can brawl and take you out and magma shell can be that ultimate if it was reworked.

Or just add Spell Pen to Corrosive, rather than depriving PvE Tanks of a very useful tool.

It wouldn't affect StamDKs one iota other than making a few mag skills a touch more powerful in limited circumstances.

In my view MagDK has always been more offensively capabale than StamDK, so who cares if the signature StamDK morph is also useful for MagDK offense.

Magma shell should have increased flame damage the longer an enemy is within proximity while the ultimate is up. I understand that PVE tanks say they use this ultimate. But the flame damage needs to be drastically increased!

Stam Dk does poison damage, magicka Dragonknight are based in flame why make corrosive only for pvp/DPS? Magma shell should be it.

Maybe you answered this already or maybe you're on console and don't know yet, but have you noticed the removal of the cooldown from the Combustion passive providing you greater sustain when Magma Shell is up? I only mean to say that maybe this Ult is now better than it was before. Maybe this change to Combustion is hardly noticeable also.

Welcome to being like a StamDK where the vast majority of your skills do the wrong type of damage.. if my suggested change were made that is.

It may be that adding offensive power to this skill for MagDKs while retaining its defensive usefulness for Tanks would overload the skill for MagDKs in PvP. Would you be ok with a substantially increased cost?

Also, note both morphs of Banner do Flame Damage. A separate issue I know but it's not like MagDKs are starved for good ults.

Yep I rather it cost 250 if it means I can use it as a offensive ultimate.

But are you willing to give up the significant damage reduction to get a more offensive ultimate? While you did say you are wiling to give up the shield it provides others which is really not giving up anything for you with an ultimate that provides you a huge damage reduction. It is so easy to suggest such a strong defensive ultimate do more damage but much harder to increase ones personal risk.

Regardless, the idea seems to have such limited interest anyhow. Four days and still on the second page with many of the same people posting does not bode well for showing interest in the idea.

Good for you, that's why the forums are here for people to post "Their" opinions.

I take magma to protect me and my party in dunguans, if it will be a little longer it will be cool. Even if shield for party will be longer.
