Nerfing SM

boy I'm probably gonna get some red karma for it but wtf

nerfing sm? Are you out of your mind? Do you realize what it'll do to new warlocks? Levelling will be a pain and very slow, if the warlock doesnt leech auras in a large group he will have a trouble levelling which means he's totally dependable on others for levelling decently, ask a warlock 45+ to kill some mobs with SPELLS, low cooldown, low mana, good damage spells not to mention the resists he'll get, it'll be ridicuously slow.

The good thing about SM levelling (kinky) is that you do not need a continuous mana source to level, you just keep on hitting things and aren't bound to things like cooldowns you miss a shot? So what it didn't cost you anything you shoot another. It works for single AND group levelling.

Worst thing about this is that to be taken seriously sometimes like in this case I wouldn't need sm anymore, and i don't, I saved 5k for my graduation.

yes sm needs some kind of compromise and change as it is a burden in war, atm I see two solutions:

1. changing the spells so it'll still be the same when levelling but warring will give you some kind of handicap (penalty) when using them, just a quick thought

casting time for magnifications:
0
arcane acceleration, new penalty
-xx% casting time I'm thinking 60 or 80

2. changing (nerfing) sm and giving an alternative to levelling.

Just nerfing sm will make the growth of new warlocks like water in a dry desert, it'll be close to nonexistant because it's such a pain levelling them.
