Adjust BD Lifetap / new Mid combo-debuffs

Supression BD tap-nukes on the new combo debuff are out of line.
Nuke-Tap-Nuke is essentially a double-base-nuke damage wise followed up by another base nuke. This easily nets around 1k dmg in roughly 2-3s.
ofc add nukes from RM/SM.
And add Thane DD or even Skald DDs...

Here are several suggestions to adress this issue:

a) Convert lifetap dmg type to either Fire/Cold/Matter.
Will make things slightly better as you do need at least a few points in Darkness for the basenuke and the RC-RM will not have access to red NS.

b) Exclude Body debuff from new midgard combo debuff.
This will allow Midcasters to continue cross-assisting with Thanes/RMs but will bring the BD frontload down a little.
--> Personally, this is my favorite variant.

c) Convert lifetap dmg type to Slash/Crush/Thrust/Essence.
This change will just circumvent any issues with debuffing for this paticular spell.

Thank you for trying to continually make things better and shift the meta a bit!
Best

Are you serious?
You think this has been overlooked by the Devs?

Does this suggestion include changing BD-debuff to slash/crush/thrust-debuff?

Suggestion doesn't seem to be well thought through, and similar advantages can be found in all realms. That's kind of a given with combined-debuffs that there will be things hitting lower resists that previously didn't get debuffed

Just hammer the BD even more why dont ya?

Also anything that has the full debuff on it is going to be getting nuked quite hard, someone else might know the numbers but surely something like a light chanter/dark RM are going to be pushing high numbers on a fully debuffed target?
