<p>Looking forward to it.</p><p>Hopefully the issues they are having with this ability will bring about some realizations as to how they need to code individual effects on spells rather than lableing complex multiple-effect spells with "beneficial" or "detrimental"</p><p>We'll see.</p>

<p>I'm interested to see how this change works out.  As for the OP, sounds like the original "reduces durration" part is completely removed, so it does not do that anymore including for curses.  Unfortunately I kinda liked this spell as it was, although I'm unsure how well it worked.</p><p>However, depending on how they handle the change, it could make this spell equally worthless.  In my experience, interupts don't work so well on named mobs, mostly epic ones, but there are alot of heroic ones that are immune to interupt too.</p><p>Depending on how much the damage tick is, it may not be worth the points.</p><p><img src="http://kyrainetheranger.tripod.com/starsiggirl.gif" /></p>

I think that's only for damage spells. Hopefully it will still work on the non-damaging charms, slows etc.

<p>We really need a Dev to comment on how it is going to affect the duration of curses.  Personally I think they should just exclude curses from being affected at all.</p>

<p>its a CA you definatly dont want to spam.</p><p>its very useful, when used right. it doesnt work on damage spells, it on effects non-damage spells, according to its description.</p><p>its also a linked encounter green CA - much like chaos anthem.</p><p>it has a periodic interupt attached, which can be useful. I think it fits in well, with the fact that its a CA you earn from AA, its a moderate debuff, and its not something you should be spamming on every name in the game. for being a earned CA, it's pretty nice.</p>
