Yea, but you have to watch some buffs with a recast that you can't use them again during most fights on ONE target that isn't you, while the average ENC has to watch multiple buffs that can and should be recast during any given combat on several targets that aren't he. See the difference?
No I don't see the difference. There is always plenty of information, emotes raid instructions etc that you have to recognise and act on. This buff was cast just 18 secs previously and you know it is going to wear off.
Your suggestion b was to make it not overwrite mage elemental form.
If it does not overwrite, it bounces.
If it bounces, it does not land.
I still do not understand what you mean by bounce.
I guess you mean that when it was programmed a choice was made that if the existing illusion could not be overwritten (a soul bound illusion perhaps) then the spell would not land. But I would be amazed if a different choice could not be made. How easy it would (now) be to implement this is another matter.
What was the question again?
Well one of the questions was could you please
(c) Return the original illusion when the spell expires.
Let me correct you there: this spell does not blind you, it has not and never had a blind component. It returns you to your normal racial vision
Surprisingly I am aware of that. But without the level of vision provided by the illusion I am effectively blind. Without that level of vision the game is unplayable. The MAJOR MAJOR benefit that the illusion provides is vision.
If your racial vision means you can't see shit, well, noone forced you to play that race
Well while that is true if I had the level of clairvoyance required to anticipate this problem, I would be spending my time picking winning racehorses and lottery numbers. Believe me if I had been aware of the consequences I would never have made that choice and would snatch the hand off from anyone who gave me the opportunity to change. This does not explain why matters HAVE TO BE made deliberately worse.
Except for the visual part of the illusion, nothing gets changed
Yes but the visual aspect is THE major benefit of the illusion. If you cannot see you cannot play. END.
Yes I have got choices but none are ideal.
I could use Shard of the core but that would deprive me of the equipment I currently use in the slot.
I could get some other sight buff cast on me but that would take a buff slot and likely expire at some very inconvenient moment.
I could find some equipment with ultra vision but I am not aware of anything suitable at my level and would undoubtably have consequences even if there was.
I could just not have the buff cast on me (my current choice)
I could lobby to have the buff changed such that what is SUPPOSED to be a beneficial buff does not have such terrible consequences (for me). (my preferred option)
