Report #1348
Skillset: Necromancy Skill: Feed
 Org: Ur'Guard Status: Completed May 2015
Furies' Decision:
Sol. 3
Problem: Necromancy FEED does hunger drain. The game wants to move away from
hunger draining abilities, but hunger drain was actually quite useful [and saved
my personal bacon sometimes in prolonged fights, anecdotally] so I'd like to see
if I can get something that would see some use.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #1: Change necromancy feed into an attack that does
 excorable damage to a target. This wouldn't overlap
 in the overhaul with symbol strike because strike and
 necro are based on different stats, so a Nihilist
 would choose which to use that they had a higher stat
 in. It would hit about as fast as symbol.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #2: As 1, but have it siphon health as well (with a
 higher mana cost) to go with necromancy's siphon mana
 and siphon power skills.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #3: Sol 2, but also have it be a bashing attack. That
 siphons health. What could possibly go wrong?

Solution 2 but less damage than symbol strike. Working on mobs is cool too, but
you might want to add how much health you get. Nightkiss does that but it's
like...75 health and not worth it.

I would agree with Celina in supporting option 2 with less damage than symbol
strike.
---[Marcella on 4/27 @ 19:20 writes]:
I'd propose maybe 500-600 drain, since symbol strike does about 900 dmg to me
and leech siphons about 1k mana.
