Even in virtus ("max" ancients gear) you still lose damage as a whole because:

a.) you are wearing a slayer helmet, not the Virtus mask, so you "miss out" on the %magic damage the mask has,

b.) you are now "required" to pray Augury to get comparable dps to before, even if you are attacking something with zero magic defense like a Dust devil. %magic damage on Augury is not a bad idea and is good long-term, but this change for the same dps we currently have without acknowledging it as a nerf across the board has to be acknowledged, especially because this example has the player in best-in-slot gear. This could be mitigated by %magic damage (lesser, like 2%) on Mystic Might, but is still an issue that needs to be acknowledged.

c.) as stated in the OP, any gear below Virtus, the "side-grade Ancient Magicks best-in-slot," barraging is significantly nerfed due to reduced magic damage and the requirement to pray Augury to make up some of the lost damage.

I would move some of the power over to magic off hands.
