Issue

A two second casting time and having to wait an additional three seconds for it to activate is way to long and is overshadowed by meteor. Also this skill has an excessive amount of animation so players can easily see when this spell is coming towards them and side step out of the way.

Suggestion

Decrease the casting time to one second because your going to have to wait three seconds for it to do any damage and even then it has no armor penetration so it does very low damage against targets with an armor rating over sixty. OR Reduce the amount of visuals for this skills so players will not easily notice this spell coming towards them. Ritualist have a very low power supply and one constantly spamming this skill will run out of power very fast.

Suggestion

Reduce casting time, damage

[edit] What a joke of a skill.

Issues

Slow cast, 10 energy cost, only "adjacent" AoE, plus it gives the opposition a heads-up warning. I can move out of the AoE of this even when snared by 2/3.

Suggestions(any combination of the following)

• Reduce cast to 1/4 second.
• Reduce energy to 5.
• Increase damage.
• Increase AoE.

Issue

This skill needs some reason to be worth the effort. Since it's easy to avoid, it only punishes people who don't pay attenion.

Suggestion

• Reduce casting time to 1 second.
• Add X seconds of burning.
• Make the range in the area.

All those changes combined would make it a decent risk-vs-reward skill, now, it's just not worth the risk.
