    600 magreg, instacast, no costs, major fracture. And they nerfed Incap because it was overloaded. Devs???

    Restores mag only when you do damage so that's fine.

    99% of skills are insta cast.

    Think being free is fine, only really used for the regen on longer fights.

    Provided by most other stuff (e.g. tanks, stamblades etc...)

    Guess they could change minor magsteal to only proc on light/heavy attacks but I wouldn't add a cost or cast time to this skill.

    If you want to take away one of the other skills you'd normally use to put those purgable debuffs on me and be skillful enough to damage me every second to get that regen, by all means you are welcome to do so. I don't have a problem at all when a destro staff user hits me with this skill.

    This. Although ultimately only one of the two skills will be used, its hard to make them both situationally good.

    No.

    Ele is almost exclusively used in PvE, and its usage is balanced. There is no need for it to be nerfed.

    Seriously, what is with all these ignorant "nerf X" threads?

    Its a world skill available to everyone and yet in most dungeon groups its not used unless its a coordinated group.

    The skill is totaly fine, you should read better what's incap does.

    Well, the spell itself is overpowering as a debuff. No other debuff have a so huge impact in a fight, it permits low regen PVP build with high damage to be effective in long time fight and increase the already high penetration from magicka class. And for people complaining about incap, it's an ult, not a free-to-use-without-loosing-burst-debuff. But still incap too strong, the ult cost increase is nice (if they didn't change it)

    I'm agree with PVE players, we shouldn't nerf the effect (way too much needed in PVE), but change the regen proc on light/heavy attack only against players, so defensive players in PVP won't profit from it (dots), or reduce the regen when use against player and so on...

    1. Siphon Spirit should be changed to include Minor Staminasteal but loses out on the Minor Lifesteal
    2. Quick Siphon should provide Minor Heroism as well as Minor Lifesteal

    With these changes, all 3 become situational but useful. E-Drain is free, provides Major Breech and Minor Magicka Steal but in a 4 man group, it might be more beneficial to run Siphon Spirit since it restores resources to everyone but in trials when 1 Healer is running E-Drain or Siphon Spirit, the other Healer can provide Quick Siphon for Minor Heroism buff.

    Yeah tbh, I don't find it OP, but Its kind of a skilless skill. Slap a cost on it, then it'll be mainly for healers who can take sacrifice of their own mag and multiply it over a group.

    Its purgable, but not to like 90% of players. And easy. Ele drain+entropy and set.

    As mostly stamina DK, may I shyly vote to instead do the opposite and buff stamina sustain by giving it something like that? Like, peace on Earth. :)

    It's a PvP thread btw. Let Siphon give penetration and magreg but give it a cast time and take away the pen from Ele Drain.

    Oh yeah. Please nerf the only source of Major Breach for most magicka chars. If you compare that to Major Fracture, that is tacked onto stamina class spammables...

    Stam doesn't have a skill which gives 600 regen for free tho.

    @Feanor , just out of curiosity - which are those spammables? I only know it's present on nighblade, but not all stamina characters are nightblades. DK has AoE dot with it, but the dot itself isn't awfully strong and doesn't always make it into rotations.

    Major fracture can also come from ransack as a spammable

    @Feanor - aha, thank you; I've looked up, not all spammables, but all sounds legit. Granted, NB's Mark Target gives Major Breach too, and Warden's Subterranean Assault can be morphed into Deep Fissure for same effect, or so it seems.

    But generally, in most group content, it would seem that the tank's Pierce Armor would cover all need for both Breach and Fracture. Not making it an argument for nerfing Drain, of course.
