Repeated Stabbing suggestion for those going to FanFaire...

[Terq]

<p>First, I am too lazy to see if this has actually beeb mentioned in another thread.  Appologies up front if I am the last to arrive at the party.</p><p>Has anyone suggested that repeated stabbing cut the casting time of CA's instead of the recovery time?  Recast times would stay the same, so that the big advantage would be that auto attacks wouldn't be quite as delayed after a CA.  </p><p>This would have a bigger effect on faster swinging weapons and mght make things other than GDoH, RoD, DoN, the vampiric axe etc, more viable options, since at least some of the benefit to using those weapons would be lessened.  Throw in a dirge, and those faster swinging DWs become an even more attractive option.  </p><p>Just my two cents.</p>

I think most of us like Repeated Stabbing as is after we have had a chance to use it for awhile.  Not saying that idea might not be better, but I dont think many would care too much either way.
