Game Description
Touches your target with the hand of the plague, draining your target of life energy, siphoning between 720 and @1 damage.
How good is this spell? The obvious comparison would be to
Deflux. I always have Deflux memmed if I'm soloing. When soloing harder content (summoning and unfearable mobs) it usually involves having pet tank and stepping in from time to time to "deflux-tank" i.e. spamming Deflux GCD-clicky.
Now "Touch" is nearly double the mana of Deflux but it drains (and nukes) for more than twice the amount. This is obviously a pretty good upgrade but is it "game changing" in any way? So for instance, you can use the "deflux tanking" method to solo the A4 halflings but A4 TwentyTwo will rip you to shreds. He hits a bit harder (only 180 up from 155) but he also has a significantly higher amount of HP. Would this spell shift the balance enough to make a mob like TwentyTwo doable? Or not? Are there any other sort of content you can think of where having this spell will be decisive?
People seem to be attempting to charge Torpor-level money for this spell and I'm just trying to work out how badly I should be wanting this
