I wouldn't say this is meant to fix the lategame or anything.

I just think Mercalan Mist is currently not fullfilling its function as a support skill, in the way it should.

Healing? heavy investment in stats and still even at full strength half as effective in healing than Aquadancers Rain+RF, and rain has way more additional effects + Speedcasting.

Lighting debuff? Currently its biggest Selling point, by far. People usually use it for this, which Is very niche and I think not exactly the main idea of the Mist to conceal someone.

Evade buff? In theory good. I practice not so much. Cause lets be honest, if you want to support your dodger who struggles to dodge, you won't be using Mercalan Mist, because your dodger in most cases will be always sitting at buff cap, therefore not really caring for your buff, and if they care for it you kinda have easier options to buff them with, quicker. Thats also why simply swapping Evade boni to Hit Mali is a BIG buff and difference.

Mercalan Mist currently does a lot of things but nothing truly well, for the investment/duration, except for the Lightning resist debuff, thats when used right and combined with like Soaked effects is very powerful. But I do not think that was ever meant as its primary function. So to me Mercalan Mist kinda just misses its own flavor, which I find sad. If it was me? I would entirely cut the lightning resist debuff and make it do less different things, but those well.

I personally dislike skills that have no real identity and try to be jack of all trades. It makes them be uninteresting for the majority of builds and niche skills. but thats just my two cents on the matter.
