theres really no reason to run mage cowl now after the change since it does less damage than cowl of purity with the same cd and much less range
before the change it was often used to make tank weapons like hammers and quarterstaves viable in solo content since it made up for the fact that they deal less damage. adding additional damage to cc'd enemies makes this strategy viable again and would give it a niche to distinguish it from cowl of purity
