Sage/Demon power weak?

Anyone else notice sage/demon skills don't add much of anything to attacks. Other class skills get like extra 3k+ static damage to theirs, while psy only increases by 200 etc. b:lipcurl

And you have stumbled upon one of the reasons why our 79 and 100 attacks are slower but higher damage nukes. Our class lacks DPH-powered nuke skills otherwise, and we'd wind up being the only magical DD to lack them.

200 is an understatement though. But yeah a lot of our attacks get like a 800-900 boost to the static adds, and only a few get something in the neighborhood of 1400-1600, while other classes get away with adding over 2000-3000 (...sometimes more) to many of their spells, some of which have us beat again in the form of weapon mods. However, we do have Black Voodoo to consider; so you can't expect us to have the best static adds, weapon mods, AND 22-25 free attack levels on so many skills. That would just be mean, even if we are the squishiest DD's in PW. b:surrender

Oh, almost forgot. Sage/Demon Red Tide only increases the static add by about 282, so I guess your statement was fairly accurate on that one. Reinforcing the fact that RT fails as a nuke if the bleed doesn't proc or gets purified/cauterized.

What I noticed is the added effects which are amazing.

Our skills are already powerful so It's really fair to do small adds like that. This is a balance.
