Stuns and stifles were nerfed today

[Pins]

Thank you for stealth nerfing our stuns. Previously 11s duration on our single target, and 4s on our aoe. Now it's a 10s duration and 3s on our aoe, THANK YOU! Yay! Wait, stifles too! 18s duration down to 14s, w00t. Color shower, expected, down to 12s from 16s. But damage per tic dropped, however they added another tic to make up for it.<p>Message Edited by Pinski on <span class=date_text>11-09-2005</span> <span class=time_text>02:14 PM</span> Fixed old duration of stifle<p>Message Edited by Pinski on <span class=date_text>11-09-2005</span> <span class=time_text>02:36 PM</span>

The latest aoe stun was 4 seconds, not 3.5. Apparently you haven't upgraded to the latest spell. Nerfs were minimal? Please, can I borrow you rosy colored glasses? <div></div>

Dazzling Array was 4.0s<img src=http://www.physics.uc.edu/~pinskie/spells/Dazzling%20Array.JPG>. Now it is 3.0s, that is a loss of 25%.<p>Message Edited by Pinski on <span class=date_text>11-09-2005</span> <span class=time_text>02:33 PM</span>

Not to mention, that we used to be able to aoe stun then single-stun without having the mob break (casting time on the single stun is 3 sec, and then add the 0.5 sec cooldown time from the aoe stun). now we have a 0.5sec break between the stuns which in an emergency can get us killed.</DIV>

Okay, so Dazzling Array is back at 4.0s again.HOWEVER, Sap Will remains at 10s, and Drain Thought remains at 14s. I think I may go and start using Overwhelming Silence instead of Drain thought, sure it's 10s duration for a stifle, but it's 51 power cost vs. 161 power cost, and some reason I bet it'll stick just as well.
