No you nub.

Let's say we choose 50%. So if fire attune gives 2000 extra damage, it will make 1000 of this divine. It won't be a separate attune.

And if ice attune gives 4000 extra damage, it will make 2000 of this divine.
+1 I like this idea, despite not having attune on half the time because I die too much, it would prevent everyone from going full hybrid. The option to have four damage spells with divine damage would be a big change to how the class is played and kind of desegregate ice and fire mages.

Go hybrid if you want, but you can only use one attune at a time.

The point is to add divine damage, so mages have comparable DPS with other classes.

A maxed ice shards, when using a fire attune with divine damage will do close to no damage (just like it does now) on majority of raid bosses.

nt on bosses who r weak to ice like 210/205... imo should rework armor/aura so tht it add dmg to spells...as all dps classes hv permanent added divine dmg from armor except mages.... nd even if we use three skills (hvnt seen anyone using 4)...wont make mages op.. bcz melee classes are way ahead of mages in term of dps.

so basically what you are suggesting armo is modifying the actual attunments themselves to convert a portion into divine?

This still creates an even larger dps gap between the skills for each element, so essentially you are still making mages a 1 skill class you are just making it so people can either choose bolt or shards.

No one can effectively go full hybrid because of skill overlap as it is. Changing only the base values keeps the exact same dynamics there is no change there, all it does is alter the damage type to fit otms divine reliant style.

It's about how much divine damage is added, not how many skills have divine damage.

Anyway, any change is welcome of course.
