Wizard Insta Feedback

Was just wondering if the feedback caused from the wizard t8 instas was changed. They have been doing massive amounts of damage. They range anywhere from 4k-8k a tick for 20-40 seconds and have been critting. it hasn't been a giant problem, but I could imagine for a new wizard it would kill them extremely fast. Thank you!

I can also confirm that something has definitely changed with these spells. I've been seeing the exact same type of behaviour, thinking my wizards were being attacked or eating rampages. It was actually the feedback DoT's. Not sure if this was intentional, but there was no note on it.

Hmm I fixed a few thing with the aggro generation of some spells a few releases ago where the hate generation was being overwritten by a default value. I didn't touch the recourses, but I'll check and see if something got mixed up in the DB/spell file.

Thanks Vaion, appreciate it. Melk and I have been noticing a lot of weird things with spell aggro. We'll have solid aggro on a boss and start nuking then the wizards will just get eaten - randomly. Almost as if there was an aggro wipe. Keep in mind we're both using the donor legs too (tank and wizard) so that should be helping substantially as well.

To add, I was just on one of my wizards and had three feedback spells on me at the same time. I was taking close to 12k a tick.

I'm glad you mentioned the hate thing, I was going to post about that too. For the last 1-2 weeks I have been having MAJOR issues keeping aggro off of wizards/enchanters/mage, pretty much anything. During an event in Nadox me and Fitzor were hitting a boss and all of a sudden he started summoing the wizards, then the enchanters (all they did was cast debuffs) then he summoned my mage. I could see the wizards getting summoned somtimes, but when I'm spamming Shield of the Omniscient and donor legs with voice of thule buff I'm assuming the enchanters shouldn't be dieing. I've also had a few friends ask me if wizards were producing insane amounts of aggro recently as well. Just thought I would throw that out there

My wizies are not getting that at all, not the bad feedback and not the agro either. That's kinda weird.
SoD clients all.

I aslo just finished testing with several different wizards and in different zones.

It is not working as intended (Unless Vaion is an ebil dev ... wait!!)

Recourse are DoTs now; we will fix it.

Thanks guys :) It was definitely fun while it lasted! Made some encounters a challenge (Draekon.. ahem), especially when you'd get three of those bad boys stacking up! EVIL EVIL DEVS!
