Edit 2 - And the second prestige that effects this new one decreases what I'm guessing is the base cast time of Ancient Shroud, Death Ward, and Death Cries? It's pretty unclear in the explaination so if anyone knows what it means please tell me! =D But anyway, making a prestige that makes you not cast those spells to maintain what it does, and then has a modifiable prestige that makes it so you can cast the spells you're not supposed to cast faster or whatever it does? It doesn't make any sense what so ever unless I'm not understanding something.

The idea here (I think) is that Ancient Shroud and Deathward become more akin to emergency abilities while building and maintaining the crit bonus group buff. You'll want to avoid them to maintain the crit bonus, but they can be applied instantly if they're needed in a pinch.

I like that particular aspect of the mechanic a lot.
