Bane

[Valamir]

agree this skill is really pathetic and damagewise veeeeeeeeeeery inferior to wod...

it need dc5 (that it drain)
it have 30m recast
it have 6s and i repeat 6s casting time who mean you need ages to cast it while not doing any damage to the mob... how much damage you do in 6s with skills and autoattack? 3-4k whitout any crit?

with these requirements and its level this skill should nuke for at least 20-30k and not lower our dps :P

I got 50 last night - and I have to agree, WoD completely destroys bane in its current state.

However, for those six seconds I was casting it, I thought the world was going to end from the cast animation... then it hits for 5k :roll:

Incantation of Hate was also a huge dissapointment.. 10 min cd? 480 mana? one or the other, please.

Bane might have it's uses, but I don't know what they are :shock:

It's true you likely could simply outdamge this spells damage by simply attacking with the time it takes to get this spell off. Now if it isnt meant to be an end all be all nuke then I would say a simple fix is get rid of the casting time and make it instant so that it serves a purpose as added instant damage.

As it sits I'm not sure there is ever a reason to ditch DC5 and your regular damage while waiting for this spell to go off. Not to mention the possible interupts and lengthened casting due to getting beat on.

Incantation of hate I can defend a little by simply saying it was intended to help keep agro on boss mobs. If that was it's intent then fine, it will suffice for it's purpose. If it wasn't then I can't guess as to what it's intent was.
