Summary	0007848: standing damage effect
Description	I'd like to see a standing damage effect, like a wall of fire or something, enemies can pass through it but take damage on the way. I'd especially like to see something like that which will damage background objects, as it gets ratehr irritating to have to stand next to a gazebo, crashed landspeeder, slime, Especially hate corrupted stone lions! they have tons of hp, and slowly grind away at it with whip or touch spells, having a standing damage effect that you can toggle on and off, similar to the elemental shields would help, player spends their time and focus dodging shots by the monster while the wall goes to work burning down said monster.

BenMiff May 16, 2012 3:24 pm reporter ~0024335	Not a bad idea, though I'd say that it probably should either be set duration rather than toggle on / off in order to avoid sticking it on and then spending the rest of the fight in a corner; it would utterly trivialise most ground bosses, for instance. Alternatively, there could be a "support" stream to the effect, a straight line from player to effect, and if something solid blocks that line the effect ends (so if you hide behind a wall, no more effect). The effects could also be differentiated by gravity (one might need ground under it, while another can anchor to walls) and shape (wall, sphere, etc.) Finally, I'd say these would need to have lower damage per mana so to balance out the advantage that you can now focus on dodging.
