Word on the street is PFS has given the Mosquito witch the Resentment's Ongoing Misery familiar ability until a new option is published.
1. Can anyone link to that announcement? I've only seen it second hand.
2. What primal spells are worth using with Ongoing Misery besides Revealing Light and Slow?
3. How does Mosquito stack up against the Resentment? The mosquito cantrip didn't lose the one minute cool down timer, which stings.

I also remember reading that ... somewhere. But I can't find it now.
2. What primal spells are worth using with Ongoing Misery besides Revealing Light and Slow?
Stuff that your allies cast? Primal tradition isn't known for debuffs.

Yeah, I'm hoping for errata to Buzzing Bites as well. Though the cantrip actually compares more directly to Winter Witch / Silence in Snow.
Previously Buzzing Bites was better than Clinging Ice because you could sustain it and it would repeat the damage once each round. Now Clinging Ice can be re-cast each round on the same target for the same end result, but Clinging Ice doesn't need to be sustained. You can skip a round with Clinging Ice, but not with Buzzing Bites.
If Mosquito Witch is getting Ongoing Misery, then the familiar abilities between Silence in Snow and Mosquito Witch don't really compare at all.

Ah. There it is. In the Player Core character options.
If a witch’s patron is Baba Yaga, their familiar gains the Familiar of Freezing Rime ability (page 185). If a witch’s patron is the Mosquito Witch, their familiar gains the Familiar of Ongoing Misery ability (page 184). Should these patrons be reprinted in future products, their familiar abilities will be updated.
