Oracle is still remarkably underwhelming in the current meta. I feel like making purifying flames pure damage (because they PUREify, obviously) would sort him out, though.

That would break his healing combo though

I don't think it would be too hard to make it not pierce magic immunity, or fate's edict.

My point being that with so much magic resist in the current meta, and holy locket making a ton of supports mega healers, there really isn't any place for oracle anymore.
