Magicka DPS in the patch and bar real estate (PVE)
I have brought this up before, but Magicka dps, as I'm sure you all know, must slot barbed trap or channeled acceleration for the "Minor Force" buff which is extremely important in today's crit meta. As it stands, every single slot must be used for dps buttons to stay within 15 to 20% of the same dps that stam users enjoy. Stam users are generally able to slot vigor, while magicka will need to slot no defensives to compete.
A simple solution to this would be to add minor force to the dot component of the magicka equivalent of trap beast -- scalding rune. It would have little effect on the DPS of magicka (which I think is in a fairly decent place on the pts) while improving their quality of life and giving them the ability to slot a defensive heal/shield and maintain a steady dps.
Not to mention the use of trap generally renders a magicka user unable to roll dodge or block due to the cost of the ability. It honestly just makes good sense to have it on there, especially while we are auditing abilities and bringing them in line with one another. Thank you.
