    Yeah, but the real question is: do Overload "light attacks" get empowered by 40% now?

    That would certainly boost Sorc if so . Need TC to load up to see .

    Weaving Entropy with Overload light attacks could be powerful if it works.

    Well that fixes the meteor empower buff being wasted on a follow up skill instead of on meteor. Lol

    Last time I tested it back in January, Meteor was empowering itself + the first attack before it hit + the first attack after it hit... aka refreshing the buff and still retaining the bonus itself. The patch before that, it empowered the first skill before it landed but then used the buff up itself. In both cases, it was turning out better than you'd expect.
    I vaguely remember the buff being used up by the first hit before the meteor in 1.6 when I started using it, but don't quote me on that.

    The change effectively kills DW for mag sorc, since it was all about using Entropy to fish for Frag procs. The empowered Frags was the only thing it had going for it over the boring destro pigeonhole.

    @HoloYoitsu True and good to see you post . Have not seen many posts from you lately . Hope all is well .
    Well I still play on the regular, but there hasn't really been much to post about. Pvp's been stale and there isn't really any point in 'debating' w/ much of the incessant nerf sorc ppl in PvP Combat - which is about the only mag sorc type of discussion that comes up on the forums.

    That and the fact we don't need DW for 5:5:2 any more its a double whammy. People on here don't get the Mag DW thing, too much harry potter too little Gandalf.

    The nerfs just keep coming for MagDW :(

    There seems to be an unhealthy obsession with light attacks going on here, like every other change or new ability buffs light attacks in some way.

    The point was, I did it because they were right next to me, not because I wanted it. If I did t have the addon, it wouldn't be a problem, because I don't need it.

    It's in part because they're trying to raise the DPS ceiling. Specifically for bad players who light attack their way through dungeons.

    The problem is good players use a light attack every 0.9-1.0 seconds as well, so the dps increase could be crazy.
