Seduction casting time is too long. Some classes can be turning around corners and pillars forever and we can’t seducce them.
That way we can never cast a non instant spell to a druid for example.
To make things worse, even if we start the spell with LOS, the succubus won’t be able to seduce if the enemy get out of our sight.
Seduction share diminishing return with fear and it has a 30sec cd!
Who does arena know what I’m saying.
Besides that, during seduction, succubus are unable to do anything, because seduction is a channeling spell.
It’s very frustrating trying to do at least one damage to characters runing around arenas.
Locks are very slow characters with few instant castings.
My opinion is that casting time is fine. Since it has a 30 yard range and the pet remains invisible when casting the spell, there needs to be some limitation on how powerful it can be. I don’t deny that being instant cast would be very attractive, but likely there will be more limitations being imposed with that, such as a longer cooldown.
What is not fine however, is the ridiculous Channeling mechanic. Putting our pet out of combat for an entire spell duration is absurd when pets are suppose to be a staple part of our dps.
Try have a taste of that by using Grimoire of Sacrifice. At the moment, Command Demon is still using Seduction on Succubus. Feel for yourself on how practical it is to have a ‘utility’ that puts you completely immobile and unable to do anything for 30 seconds.
