I like you... liked it. English. I was hesitent to make her passive apply CC based on her last spell cast, as it removed the "random status ailment" from her Leader Skill, but I suppose it turned out pretty well. In order to spice things up and still retain it somewhat balanced, I made the CC duration of each of her spells relatively low for Parasitic Seeds to get into the best use possible.

As for being a replacement to Zyra? I don't think that would work, hence Zyra completely relies on her plants to do all her sustained damage for her while Nalmika how I pictured her is a melee, bruisery CC mage, and doesn't rely on pets.

P.S.S: That's kind of the point... We never even got to the Thunder Arenas, and if Earth and Water Vortex Arenas are going to have this long of a waiting period, then how on earth would one think we'd reach Light or Dark? ^^
