Default Re: Balancing Wrathful Skies

If some unit/spell (in this case Wrathful Skies) is used by everyone, then it must be more powerful in relation to other units/spells.

Only if you assume everyone makes good choices.
Besides, not everyone uses Wrathful Skies.
Nevertheless, I tend to agree that I'd like to see Wrathful Skies be more difficult to cast, for my own tastes. I think it's a neat spell, but would rather it require a more powerful (and/or more expensively-prepared) mage.

Maybe in Dom3 there would be some way of capturing MP statistics on what spells/units were used the most/least. Over time, this would give a pretty good indication of what needed to be scaled up and what needed to be scaled down.
Well, if it were a program which auto-generated an optional Nerf Du Jour mod to shut up forum whiners, maybe.
