I believe this would make Manald channeling damage performance similar to other skills (such as Spectral Blade for example), and would also solve the previous issue of other skills interrupting your Manald damage during a channel instance, such as when Lightning Hydra interrupts a damage instance from Static Discharge or Archon beam. This could be accomplished by having the first Manald damage proc from channeled skills end the paralysis “window”. To begin, I’m thinking that the interaction with channeling skills needs to be changed in order to make the item more balanced for other damage skills. This should resolve the issue with damage instances being interrupted, and make the power easier to balance as well.

I’m now thinking that Manald should be de-coupled from the Paralysis passive, and simply give all wizard damage skills a percent chance to deal X% weapon damage depending on the skill proc coefficient.

In the interest of making Manald Heal viable again, I’m suggesting/exploring ideas on the best way to update the item to accomplish this.
