Stealth nerf?

[Galn]

<DIV>Just was looking at my skills on 2 of my SK's, one is level 16 the other is 24. Infernal Blessing line has quietly been nerfed by a "Grants 5 triggers of this spellThis effect can trigger 5 times". Doesnt this mean when you fight a bunch of grouped mobs you will use up all the procs of the ward in a matter of a second or two? Before it would proc all the time the duration was up, now we are limited to 5 procs, seems like a huge nerf to me and I didnt see anything about it in the update notes either. It may have been hiding though. SK's need lovin, not stealth nerfs.</DIV>

It's been proc 5 times as long as I can remember.<div></div>

Before the total class revamp the "blessing" line was indeed an actual rune.  It didn't possess a heal or anything, just a flat out damage absorption rune.  After the revamp the rune stayed with the paladin (if I'm not mistaken) and the SK's were given a variation where it proced a heavy duty damage shield and lifetap proc.  It seems to me it was 3 procs per cast and was changed to 5 but I could be mistaken and I probably am.<div></div>

It has always been set to a predefined amount of triggers.  It was initially 3 triggers only and was later upped to 5.

Yeah.  As he says, be thankful for the 5 triggers.  Usually, by the time they've gone off, it's ready to be cast again (well, unless you've got a LOT of beasties on your butt).<div></div>
