A damage reduction is only gonna serve the purpose to make throatopener not even used because Evoker's entire kit is based around burst damage, it is a very foolish thought to even think of how this is even remotely fair to those who already relied on throatopeners, I understand your concern but once someone is silenced they'll need to spend 3m to cure it, which prevents them from invoking on your ass, no CM'd regular spell can immediately merc your ass either.

Now when you get silenced and then instead decide to pop HSDW and have silence immunity, thats when your opponent, can simply put, just run outside of effective invoke range, most people can and do have ways to get away from the mage, I won't go into detail because that'd be a lot of detail.


As for the other classes, that sounds like mostly a problem with Geist Schritt, I don't see much issue here with anything else, save for Quaking heaven kick which is an issue all of itself now that heaven kick is good.

I'd rather Throatopener not get buffed at all than give it a damage reduction for simply using it.
