Alright guys, I got some more input on this now that Chris is online and I want your opinions
First let me say I didnt know it only healed for that small amount (200hp per round max if all your leeches connect in a round) So everyone calm down and let's discuss this and figure out something in the middle.
My thoughts as well as a couple other staffers is what if we limit it per round rather than per fight? For instance 2 leeches per round? I would love some other ideas so we can pick what fits best.
I want to add Im actually on the fence on this. On one hand, it is your best spell and I believe, since people know when Koth is each week, they should bring an alt that well rounded and be prepared to fight any casters including DM's and their leech spell. (I did some testing myself today with my 20wis DE assassin vs a 23int Necro and I did damn good. He missed a lot on me. DE's high MR + 20wis is a nice counter to a necro
)
As for the JR. King of the Hill question about Assassins not hiding on their 3rd attack. The reason I said it's a rule is because it's a rule and will stay that way. If I started allowing it based on your argument that its part of their strategy then you could also ask why cant healers heal all they want or other classes buff as much as they want during the fight.
I would counter your question with a question of my own. Explain to me how hiding on the 3rd attack is a strategy in a straight up 1v1 dual? If you say to make them burn a stm pt by searching I would say wouldnt it be wiser to search during the first hide/backstab to maybe make the assassin trip up and fail the backstab?
What Im guessing is its because you want to continue to backstab nonstop rather then do a reg attack on that 3rd stm pt. In that case thats not what I want for under 25 KotH. I want it to be /hide/backstab/attack.
It's just how I designed this particular event. Everyone else has seemed okay with it and so far they've all said it's a fair event. I cant just go changing how it works everytime someone thinks it should be different then it would be in a constant state of change.
