Maladroit needs some love!

<p>The endline ability Maladroit in the Inquisitor tree should be changed. Very easy to resist it, 25% is nothing, especially for a recurring power cost. I have personally never tried it, since I have always thought it was garbage. It CAN be a very good spell <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">IF</span></strong> they modify it though.</p><p>My suggestion:</p><ul><li>1s cast time</li><li>Reduces incoming hostile debuffs by 50%, ALL not just attribute and skill. Since it doesn't appear that it would count towards mitigation debuffs etc.</li><li>50% harder to resist</li><li>Double power cost</li><li>30s recast</li></ul>

<p>Like most of our Inquisitor tree not worth to even think about it.</p>

Just look at the debuffs the mob casts on your raid and you will see, that only 1 in 10 debuffs is even affected by Maladroit and that this are the cheap debuffs. Then spec away from it and waste your 6 points somewhere else. <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />
