Imprisonment being revised.

bifflinculte

Hello fellow wizards, maybe you noticed that the tooltip of Imprisonment has been changed in non-english versions of the game (live and preview).

Imprisonment will be renamed “Arcane Conduct” or "Conduct of Arcane":
- single target
- no longer control spell,
- but a magnitude of 200 (225 on mastery, wooooooooooo)
- grants a 15% buff to your arcane spells on target for 5 sec (down from 6 sec). On mastery, buff is 20% (down from 25%).
- Cooldown, cast time, animation and icon remain the same.
- regarding the animation and the name, I suppose that it will be dot, meaning it won't be handy with Arcane Empowerment.

Basically it’s a clone of tabbed Ray of Enfeeblement.

Presently, it's only a tooltip, Imprisonment is still there.

As there is never any communication, I can't assure this information, and the values may change, anyway this tooltip is a good clue of the direction of the thing. Maybe next year another spell or feat will get revised as well, so the wizard will become a good class by 2048.

Thank you @strangedays310 for the find!

This matches up with what @noworries#8859 said in the combat rework thread. Ultimately if this is how the power will work it is a very weak clone of RoE, much like Imprisonment was before.

It's kind of a mixed bag with more negatives than positives. Good that it does damage now but the magnitude is way too low, as with a lot (if not all) the wizard's powers. The buff and duration has been reduced.

Not sure what the point was to focus on these power if it wasn't being made to be a potential replacement to RoE, if anything it seem like a (maybe) decent addition to use in conjunction with RoE
