Please do away with Spell Reuse

[urgthock]

<p>Please do away with all Spell reuse and just make everything Ability reuse. There is simply no reason to have two different types of reuse anymore and I don't know why so many other stats were consolidated and this one was not. It makes no sense and needlessly penalizes hybrid classes that have both spells and abilities.</p>

<p>Please.  I thought we got over the need to penalize hybrid classes unnecessarily some time ago.</p>

<p>+2 and get rid of all the different types of cast speed types as well.   that way casters will be able to make better use of the SMA mechanic.</p>

<p>Ability reuse can affect certain item clicky effects, and many class abilities that would become extremely powerful if their reuse time were significantly shorter. As a monk, having more uptime on Tsunami, Bob and Weave, Brawler's Tenacity, and so forth would represent a very significant increase in my effectiveness. Spells and non-spell abilities have been balanced with the difference in availability between the two kinds of reuse as a factor, and I don't think this should be changed without a very thorough analysis of its consequences.</p>

<p>On a plus note ability reuse is a stat that you cannot reforge to but spell reuse you can. So casters can still have the option to cap themselves out.</p>

There may be other very rare items with Spell Reuse on them that I am not aware of, but the only ones that spring to my mind are white adornments. And the reuse white adornment is restricted to just 5 slots. Feet, charm(s), waist and symbol. If someone actually used the best (superior) adornment in all 5 slots, they would recognize an increase of 7.5% reuse. Not very earthshattering.</p>

<p>Sounds good to me!  Please simplify.</p>
