Combat Mastery Nerf

[Quicksilver74]

<p>I'm really dissapointed to see that Combat Mastery is down to only 12 seconds on live now.  The one and only AA option we got this time around that wasn't a pure tanking AA, and now you've nerfed it to the point of almost being unusable.  Please return this ability to the 18 second duration it had in beta.   </p>

<p>I mean its 3 minute recast, how is 18 second duration even overpowered at all?</p>

<p>this was the only thing i was looking forward to but guess i just got my hope up once again...</p>

<p>I am disappointed as well but I am still glad we had it. Twelve seconds of max damage for group members is still better than what we had before. Wait we didn't have any group buff before.</p><p>I was hoping for more offensive options but for what it is worth this will do.</p><p>Next up fix our offensive stance proc to proc off all melee (auto attack and combat arts) and make it an encounter proc.</p><p>Other than that I feel bruisers are about as defensive as we need to be.</p>

<p>This was a utility buff. a 12 sec buff every ~2.5 min with reuse is almost useless in all situations but a stacked raid group built to take advantage of this buff. There really was no good reason to lower the duration. No one was really complaining about it. This ability has been made almost completely irrelevant for soloing or heroic content.</p>

<p>/signed.  A very bad change that is very disappointing.  We had the hope of having a buff that would really enhance our role as support tanks with a utility buff that groups would really look for.  Slashing the duration by 1/3 while keeping the reuse timer at the same 3 mins turned this endline AA from excellent to mediocre in one stroke.</p><p><cite>Crabbok@Oasis wrote:</cite></p><blockquote><p>I'm really dissapointed to see that Combat Mastery is down to only 12 seconds on live now.  The one and only AA option we got this time around that wasn't a pure tanking AA, and now you've nerfed it to the point of almost being unusable.  Please return this ability to the 18 second duration it had in beta.  </p></blockquote>
