Should the cost of Force Shock be reduced?

The new Psijic Order spammable deals quite nice damage while buffing your LAs, applying a status effect and costing less than Force Shock. Since Force Shock is bound to a destruction staff, in my humble opinion it's cost should be reduced by a small margin (a couple hundred magicka) in order to continue to be a viable choice since most classes struggle to sustain it.

    I think putting the cost same as the psijik skill would be boring. Force hits a little bit harder as the psijik skill --> so lets increase the damage a bit so it hits a good bit harder like 10% harder but costs a good bit magicka more

    Should just add more sustain options *shrug* most classes can't sustain without heavy attacks.

    Should lower the cost of funnel health tho ;)

    Of course it should. It should cost twice less than strife, deal more damage and be unreflectable.

    I´d love for all spammables to see the cost reduced by ~10% but since i can´t see that happening i think force pulse is fine where it´s at.

    was leaning to yes but tbh just giving force a force minor buff would make it stand out more

    Force Pulse already costs to much. Strife needs to have a cost reduction on top of this one

    It should have the same cost as Strife on Live.

    They wanted to raise the floor right? Making light attacks do more damage helps that a little bit but it mostly raises the ceiling exponentially. On live the difference between .77 light attacks per second and .95+ is huge and is the difference between a good player and a very good player. New players are probably much lower than that so them changing light attack damage kinda does the opposite of what they wanted to do. The gap will grow if they increase light attach damage any amount. The one thing imo that helps new players the most is sustaining. Spamable skills should be cheap because thats what new players do, pick on skill and press it over and over again. Another thing they do is over shield or in general waste resources which the game devs should focus on to help new players. Sustain doesnt mean making the skills cheaper. To increase sustain for new players they could add something like minor magic steal but a major perhaps or separate the orbs and shards CD.

    All Spammable(including the nb funnel) skills should cost 20% less so they more or less cost the same as before morrowind. Defensive skills(heal/shields...) would still be more expensive. Player who are playing more aggressive or makes less mistakes are rewarded with better resource management while players who are making more mistakes or playing more defensive are punished with worse resource management.

    How about we remove the “must have destro ability slotted” condition for the 8% aoe, single target, and nonexistent damage boosts for the lighting, fire, and ice destruction staves respectively so that we can run this ability instead of force pulse without being punished
