Question for the Devs - RE: Spell Damage Amp/Crit Chance/Crit Multiplier enhancements

[QuantumFX]

Since update 8 has become the “chance to spell crit on tick” update…

Does this mean you guys are also going to include the proposed “Split the elemental types, add an extra tier and make them 1/1/1/1/1 AP cost.” change when Update 8 goes live?

Also, are you going to do the same with the Bard/Cleric/FvS enhancements? (If you’re worried that it will somehow “Overpower these classes as they will only take the healing enhancements”. Let me offer the following counter argument: Since they will have more AP’s sitting around doing nothing it will force them to reevaluate their offensive options. ex: Spell pen vs. negative energy spells vs. Do I really need to crit heal for 2,000?. Capstoned FvS's realizing that they in fact *are* dynamite with a laser beam. etc.)

I would also be very interested in hearing about this. I talk about this at least once a day with my guildies, wondering, nay, hoping.

Not really expecting it till at a minimum U9, but it would be nice to be able to say, go fire/acid specced so half the necromantic and what used to be necromantic setup (cloudkill, burning blood with this new crit per tick mechanic, and the like) was relevant.
