ZOS: Please at least buff Swallow Soul

Langeston

Magblade is struggling right now in PVP — there's no two ways about it. There's a laundry lists of problems with the class (garbage healing and clunky/ineffectual burst are the two major ones). If you're dead-set against implementing anything from the vast laundry list of ideas that the forum is littered with, please at least consider something as simple as boosting the damage on Swallow Soul. Aside from the obvious [badly needed] damage boost, it would increase the healing received a bit — not a ton, but anything would be welcome. This change should be uncontroversial to even the most staunch NB haters, and it would be at least something bright for magblades to look forward to next patch. As it stands right now, I'm having a very difficult time sticking with the class.

Sh-h-h, it would be stronger than Ele Weapon in PvE (identical tooltips now), and they can't have that, blanket nerfs will follow. ZOS wouldn't have a class having better spammable. I'm already afraid of them touching the class in any way, every time they get their grabby hands on something, it turns into utter crap.

I'd rather they remove the choice between heal and invisibility, and make heal a separate skill, if healing's required.

Compare it to Puncturing Sweep, Screaming Cliff Racer, Ricochet Skull, Molten Whip, Flame Lash... I'm sure there's plenty more, those are just the first five to come to mind. Even something like every 3rd cast does more damage would be a welcome change — it still wouldn't hold a candle any of the skills I just listed, but it would be something.
