[Snake]

I agree that the passive stuff is a relic. Lantern Bearer doesn't offer jack much as a main class, nothing for spears, nothing for healing, no gimmicks. It's not worth being main classed, and the only reason it is, is because Eternal Flame puts a gun on us and demands us to main class or be at a heavy over-time momentum deficiency. (Which is very, very critical, especially when the opponent can knockdown and etc.)

I like the change proposed, but I'd prefer it being adjusted this way:

- The passive effect works, regardless if Lantern Bearer is your main class, or subclass. (Perhaps halved effectiveness if subclass?)
- The active effect is changed to: "For 5 rounds, damage and infliction for Lantern Bearer spells is doubled and they also ignore Silence, but taking "elemental neutrality" damage reduces the duration by 1 round."

Elemental Neutrality would be a term for the opposite element of your lantern.
