“Love Tap”
DOT. Immediately hit the target for 10 % of their available health. Take 1 percent of available health over 30 seconds. 35 second cool down. Bonus effects - adds a 1 minute “Love Tapped” debuf to the target that results in a 10% increase in any currency or reputation awards from the targets death if they die while the debuf is active. Stackable 3 times, (ideally including instances applied by other players), can be silenced, can be removed/cured.

Open world this would be awesome. I think it would incentivize players to not one shot shared world mobs, while other players are still trying to get their UI’s to target the mob. PVP not sure on implications.

Are the bonuses enough to be worth it to farmers?

Make it an Enchanter, Inscription crafter re-agent thing. Let it be added to any armor or weapons. Add patron orders for it.

For open world quest issues - the foam sword toy works if you find the vendor that has it, buy it, and put it on your toon, add it to your action bar, then remove it eventually when not needed. It’s kinda a PITA and is really just a work around for scaling limitations. You only really take the effort to do this if blocked on a ‘must complete’ lower level quest or something like that. It works - is just kinda weird.

IDK - woke up with the idea

On current raid bosses, we just bring 10 of us and love tap the boss at the same time

As you said there is this item for the open world but doesn’t work in raids, dungeons for the above situation, linking it

While I like the idea of encouraging people not to 1shot rares to give others a chance, and I think people would use it more with the bonus rewards, if they are alone then they would feel like they had to use it instead of just using their regular 1shot ability which might become tedious. There is also already a reduced damage taken window for some bosses that spawn, for the first 10 seconds or so after spawning, but it could be all rares. About the spell name I like that too.

That’s true, it would be click, click, instead of one click. The reduced damage thing doesn’t seem to change how fast mobs burn to me. You could still use your one shot ability, but you would lose the bonus. If “Love Tapped” then the all players on the kill would get a bonus.
