>>Would you be open to making [Rebuke] deal elemental damage in lieu of physical damage? Paladins already have two physical damage dealing TM spells. It actually deals a touch of elemental as is, but no, thematically it's going to stay as it is. I will say two things on that point however. The first is that I finally figured out what was going on with the damage (It's rather complex and well hidden in the code) and it has nothing to do with the type of damage it does. It has to do with how many types. This same issue is causing all the multishot spells that only do two types of damage (Stampede, Rebuke, Smite Horde and Stone Strike) to drastically under perform. I'm working with the combat folks to find a resolution since it's well outside my comfort zone and authority to fix on my own. Also don't ever, ever, ever use TKT as a baseline spell to compare to. It has it's own issue I've turned up that we're going to need to find a solution to - but that's an entirely different topic. The second is that I do have one more Paladin TM spell in proposals, and if approved it will be largely elemental damage.
