Spiritual link is only valid for support/healerish stuff... so for example if you're an acolyte shaman it applies to your sanc and cures but not your demonfire.

Do you think black channel is OP? Why/why not?
26818, Haha, ya right

Without how raped evil healers are, black channel is very very far from OP.
26820, Really not directed towards imperial healers.

More at the fact that Acolytes have a "black channel-like" power that applies only to protective stuff, while Imperials (who are evil bastards) get all the advantages of that, PLUS the additional advantages pertaining to their offensive supps. I.e; It's way better for a shaman.

I think black channel is a really good power, and in a straight up fight an Empire shaman should beat any other shaman 10 times out of 10. An Empire shaman who loses a fair fight to another shaman should probably delete in shame.

But, that being said, fights like that are rare, and I really like some of the other cabals' powers a lot for shamans for reasons that aren't "wins a straight-up one on one fight". Nightwalker and chameleon, for example.
26812, not much

seems spirit link sometimes gives you free communes, while bc is just a flat reduction.
