MAGIC MISSILES: damage from level 2 to 28 reduced by 10%

does the damage still only depends on slvlv and the damage gain from slvl 2 to 28 is reduced by 10% and from slvl 29 upwards the damage gain remains so we end up with the less relative damage reduction the higher the slvl gets
does the damage still only depends on slvlv and the actual total damage from slvl 2 to 28 is reduced by 10% and from slvl 29 upwards the total damage remains so we end up with the same damage from slvl 29 upwards
the damage somehow now depends on the base lvl and from base lvl 2 to 28 there is a damage reduction of 10% that gets removed as soon as you hit base lvl 29 (Would be weird damage jump when hitting this Breakpoint)
Something other

I tested a lot to find out and apparently the displayed MM damage still only depends on slvl but the overall damage is reduced by 10% no matter how high the slvl or base lvl of MM is.

So either the implemented changes do not work as intended or the line in the Patch Notes should be changed to:
MAGIC MISSILES: damage reduced by 10%

I can confirm that, my MM is base lvl 31, and its dmg is reduced by roughly that 10%.

I'd tweak mana potions to be more useful. Why the duration on them DECREASES with better potions? This does not make any sense. 6 second mana regen potion is just dumb.

TL;DR make them all 60 second duration, with unchanged magnitude (150% on super pot)

It recovers more efficiently as time decreases. Potions say smthing like "Heals 100% in 6-10seconds", meaning that they will recover 100% during that time, not regenerating with 100% speed, so increasing time would just make you gain mana/hp slower.

Doesn't look like a 10% for me, but as you can see EMin/Emax and EMinLev5/EMaxLev5 are the same, that's why it does make sense to be specific about this particular level range from level 2 to level 28.

Hp pots work like that, mana pots give +mana regen. I agree with Conquest even though I almost never use mana pots as there is usually a better way to sustain mana but early game there are some annoying mana-hungry builds. 60sec is a bit much maybe.

Deathlord cooldown is much lower than 10sec the skill desc says. I don't quite understand why do all the morphs (even Tiefling, Baneblade etc. that don't actually morph you) have cooldowns? They are so low I'dont really mind them, asking just out of curiosity, can they be abused somehow if cd's were removed?

Morphs used to de-morph you on death blow, leaving you still alive but with 1 HP or whatever you had. Without cooldown there was potential to abuse this, as you could recast the morph and you had something like Hearthstone divine shield effect, that would de morph you again.

This is not the case anymore, lethal damage will kill you right away, hence long (10s) cooldown is too much now. I'd leave it at 1 second to prevent you from accidentally casting the morph twice in a row but there is really no point of any longer CD.

Yeah I remember that but never heard of anyone actually abusing it.

needs to be boosted. Found a few and they are pretty obsolete due to new runes, well maybe on RW's they have their uses.

ty for the insight. But then it is terrible wording in the Patch Notes. Actually you only can alter Damage Gain in a particular Level range but not only the absolute Damage cause the loss will be carried over to higher slvls with less relative Impact the higher the slvl gets.

WIll now work trough some stuff from the link you posted….
