I'll say its a fair talent perhaps in a 1v1 situation where you gotta sacrifice stats or dedicate a big part of your character build to take half of someone's defense with one cast. But in group battles, a lower level casting it on higher level player is devastating. Needs no qualifiers, it just is devastating. I'm sure you've seen it happen to yourself, and tested it on unfortunate enemies.
Mass darkness spells are bad too, but this is a few steps above that.
To make an example, see battle below. No chance for our opponents. And you might say we played good/enemy played bad whatever. But my point is, the DoF caster on my team, I dont think we'd lose if they were a level 10 player. One cast, and the enemy is paper.

I suggest there be sort of caster-level vs target level based adjustment of debuff effectiveness. Or some sort of calculation that alters its effectiveness in mixed battles. This isn't my forte i leave this balancing to whoever is adept. But how fair is it for a level 20 player to die like a chump from a level 13 player hitting them? Any sort of balance is out of the picture when a DoF caster gets involved. This fix is past overdue. |
