[Known]Phoenix new attack

Title: Phoenix new attack
Location: Wyrm Sands
Reproduction rate: 100%
Blocker: no, more of a pain in the ass.
Description:
The new fire attack that does a -20 mana regen has just a few bugs/issues that should be addressed.
1. Area of affect is huge even well outside the blast radius of where the bird is shooting you will be impacted.
2. Flat -20 hurts when you are not buffed just to kill the Phoenix all day long and are casually out adventuring with a group of friends. Mage with no food and .015 mana regen rate will lose 6 focus a second when under his fire affect in peace mode. The area of effect makes it difficult to get far enough away to even start getting mana back. This should be switched to a percent of mana regen rate lost so that lower players can still participate but with slower rates but never negative rates.
3. Douse does not remove the negative mana regen fire effect. Even though it is suppose to remove fire effects.

Made it a little more fun with the new difficulty but minutes out of the fight far enough away or just hanging out with 0 mana that never comes back is a little much. Few tweaks could make this a good reasonable effect that targets the players you are looking for without being a straight mana drain on people not buffed.

 

@Toadster How long did this mana regen -20 last on your avatar?

 

until I was completely out of range of his fireball attack. Which was a huge area of affect for this spell.. so if I was anywhere even close the time constantly reset to 8-10 seconds every time he caste. Funny part is, it would just reset the timer for the Focus negative and not for the D.O.T. affect.

 

There is a Phoenix in Wyrmsands!? Or do you mean Wynton's Folly?

 

Winston folly, your right. Get it mixed up with that ghosts scorpion thing in worms sands.

 

I want to point out that this change is especially cruel to mages who use Chaotic Feedback, because the negative focus also damages them.

 

Did you try cleanse?
