It is a passive buff to the pets though, however maybe turn it into a dumbfire version of itself, summons a pet that looks like the reaper lasts for x seconds (obviously not the same level of damage as a real pet) however I guess it would be a balance between the passive buffs dps increase of the current pet vs the dps the new version of the spell could do?
The epic 2 spells are 8 years old now, some are still relevant others no longer,maybe part of a bigger issue to get upgrades to the old epic2s?
