Poisoned Heart

Issue

The skill is useless. You suffer more degen yourself than your opponent does. It inflicts a condition in PBAoE range, while having 4x the recharge of most condition removal.

Suggestion

Remove the degen effect. Add a 10% Health sacrifice. Increase the range to nearby. Reduce the recharge to 3. Reduce the energy cost to 1.

OR

Add "You move 25% faster while affected by this enchantment." Enchantment duration now scales 5..17..20. Recharge increased to 15.

Addendum

If it's changed in the first way, it might see some use on Wars or Dervs. The second way adds a speed boost to the skill and turns it into a funky combination of Flame Djinn's and Storm Djinn's Haste, and might help the weird necro runners floating around to become more viable.

Same as above.

Suggestion

Make it work on target ally, 1 energy, 10% health sacrifice, no degen. Then it would be decent. Also should be moved to Death Magic.

Suggestion

Make it target a foe as a hex which lasts 5...12 seconds. Increase energy cost to 15 casting time to 1 second. Whenever that foe moves or attacks, that foe is poisoned.

Issue

Skill is useless even on the one class that it slightly synergies with. (dervishes)

Suggestion

Move to death magic, If target ally is struck by an attack, the attacker is poisoned for x...x

Basically a single target tainted flesh, keep the recharge long enough so it cant be maintained on more than 1-2 allies. or not maintainable at all.

Issue

Same as above

Suggestion

Move it to Blood Magic. Change functionality to: Target ally is poisoned for 10 seconds. For 5...15 seconds foes that target this ally only gain half the healing from life stealing and are poisoned for 10 seconds.
