Welcome to the Wizard101 Message Boards

So i'm sure you've heard of Dark Pact. If you haven't here's what it does:
You get 300 death damage and you cast a +30% balance blade.

KI does not understand what this spell is doing to Death wizards like me:
Either cast it before the other blades or never cast it, why? Two reasons:

1- Death wizards have high Death Damage, so the attack will boost on yourself as well, causing almost 500 Damage.

2- And most importantly, it uses your Death blades, making it a suicide move.

Please, I beg you, change Dark Pact into a moon spell so it wont use our blades.

I agree with you on that premise. However, I think boosts and resists should not apply to the spells. They already took away Self-Crits which is good, but I like using Dark Pact, Sacrifice, Empower, or Bad Juju in combination with a Death Shield. Changing these spells to Moon spells would not count power pips as 2 either...However, I agree that our natural boosts and resists shouldn't apply to the damage.

I have thought of a solution! Cast your deathblades after you use your dark pact! I am amazing, now stare at me all like:

First of all, Does anyone else have any other spell that they have to make sure to cast one blade before the other?

Secondly, this spell already costs 1 pip, and does damage to self. So, It's fair that it costs a pip, does damage to self, and uses blades to increase damage to self?

Finally, as I have stated before, especially with death's spells that do damage to self, if you are going to do damage to self, the action should have more benefits than the reaction. In most cases, this is no longer true, hence why these spells need to be changed.

Anyone that can't see how this equation is true, needs to check their math, or look a bit harder at it, rather than in the mirror.
