Increase the attack bonus on mages attack field

[CrazyVanilla]

The difference between mages and warriors are essentially their gear, and their skills. In terms of normal attacking, they are both melee and attack the same exact way. Mage does have 2 ranged skills though, which really is what differentiates them from warriors; magicbreath and storm cloud.

Currently (at max level) mages attack field gives a 40% increase to damage output.

Warriors rage (just normal rage alone, at max level) gives a 200% increase to damage output.
Warrior also has other skills that increase damage substantially further (blind rage, cautious rage, pure rage), but I'm not going to touch on those any further because they also result in a debuff.

Simply put, since mages for the most part attack the same way as warrior aside from magicbreath and storm cloud, I think mages attack field bonus should be increase to 100% at max level, rather than the current 40%. I don't think this would impede on warriors at all because they still get stronger gear, and they have the other rage skills which increase their damage A LOT more.


-"But storm cloud is op already, it doesn't need to have its damage increased"
My rebuttal for this is, storm cloud really is not that op. It only seems op right now because of stalagmites, they spawn in the same spot, don't move, and can be 1 hit by the clouds.
For example, using a storm cloud at beetles is not very good at all, because they are fast, move around, and do not get 1 hit (unless you get a crit). And sure, doubling the damage of storm cloud may be a bit much, so I would suggest this bonus be added to the bonuses from other skills.
For example, storm cloud damage multiplier at max level is 360%. Instead of making that 720% while attack field is active, make it 460% (the 100% from attack field added to the 360% for storm cloud).

I don't think that's gonna work; would be pretty dumb to make two completely different skills stack additively onto one another. (Besides, you already get 504% base damage from Storm Cloud+Attack Field, and that's from how they currently are. That's already better than your suggested Storm Cloud boost).

Isn't storm cloud already boosted from attack field? I only brought that up so that storm cloud wouldn't get a 100% increase, since its already above 300% increase by itself. My idea behind this isn't to boost storm cloud, its to boost normal attacks but trying not to boost storm cloud too much. - Storm cloud doesn't need a boost, the regular attacking does.
