I think we should change the Doom & Gloom spell to +35% to death attacks and drains. There is no point in it being -65% healing at all, since the monsters don't use healing spells.
What level are you? Because I have seen enemies use sprite, I have seen a cheating boss use Rebirth. If you are only in like Marleybone or such, the enemy/boss won't use healing. But later on the bosses DO heal.
The global spells are suppose to be complimented by their polar opposites, so unless life changes to damage, death will stay the same, and plus it's death second specialty. MY opinion, it would better to create a seperate global spell.

death is anti life doom and gloom is anti healing while sancuary boosts healing and drains go through absorbs that life has ( rebirth,spirit armor)
lets look at fire vs ice as another example why opposit schools deflect on eachother fire dots chip out multiple shields of ice
must i say more
also i recomend a red ghost pet for you if ya want a death bubble that boosts attacks by i think 35%?
I completely agree with bravevline. I am an Archmage Necromancer and none of the monsters or bosses ever use heals. Sure, there is the occasional Sprite, but that doesn't actually heal much.
I don't use any of the Death spells that involve healing reduction like Infection, Mass Infection, or Doom and Gloom. These only really work in PvP and, since I don't PvP, they're completely useless.
Honestly, I think Necromancers need a bubble that actually benefits our attacks, not one that we will never need to use in PvE.
And, @BlueHighwind, I'm pretty sure the cheating boss you're talking about is Knuckles McCloud in the Spiral Geographic Warehouse. But, everyone knows he uses Rebirth, so you can stack Entangle. In addition, he only uses Rebirth if your team heals first. Therefore, if a Necro cast Doom and Gloom to slow down his Rebirth, the wizard's team would ALSO be affected by the healing nerf if they decided to use Rebirth.
In conclusion, yes. Doom and Gloom needs some changing.
