Often, the point of attuning, say Matterium, is that you can equip spell gems off different colours, while not being an evoker.
I am not attuning matterium, for the 100 or so damage attack every time I cast a spell, against enemies with health in the hundred of thousands…
And the attack slows down play, triggers enemy effects, etc…
Considering the attack in no way benefits me, always slows me down, and often harms me, and that the attack cannot be opted out off, I often don’t attune matterium, even if it makes sense to do so.
Particularly with Materium, the triggered attack seems a bit out of place.
bluequakeralex understands. I suggested being able to opt in and out of ranks earlier, I believe, but at the very least it would be nice to be able to disable the attacks.
