[Feedback] Fix Interaction Between Spark & CoC Comet

I think this is spot on.

It is Spark that is the main problem. It's such a constant source because it is everywhere. Let alone the fact that playing co-op with someone who is using this mechanic is miserable because it's eye cancer. You can hardly see what your own build is doing.

However, I certainly think that CoC has to be immediately addressed, as well. This combo is such a crutch for players that never really learn how to play the game by understanding it because they just copy/paste the same build guides while the ascendancy simply changes. And this grants them the ability to trivialize the most difficult aspects of the game. I have witnessed players who rely on it so much that when they try a new build, they don't even dodge attacks of bosses and get wrecked because they are so used to holding down a button to produce Spark constantly while not knowing the movesets.

Nerfing this interaction will probably aid in player retention as well.

Seems like every caster build turns into a CoC build at endgame, which is bad for build diversity. I think Cast on Crit is just bad for the game overall.

I think they will do some rework on CoC and other Cast Ons as well. I doubt that it was really intended to be that outperforming. Maybe something like diminishing returns on energy, if it crits too often in a certain amount of time (would especially reduce the efficiency of spark combined with CoC) or other solutions.

I hope you're right and would hate to see CoC stay meta in 0.5.

Jonathan, please consider removing Cast-on-Crit in 0.5.

I have avoided using this skill at all costs because I don't find it pleasing to my eyes, as well.

GGG needs to remove Cast-on-Crit in 0.5.
