And yes bury and assault are the same.. just one is an upgrade.

Not quite true. They may be on the same timer, but Assault is an AE that affects ALL mobs in the area, while Bury only affects the mobs in the encounter group you are fighting (i.e. Shouting Cry, etc.). Fun way to test this is to attack gnolls in TS near the cents. Bury will bring a group of gnolls, Assault will bring down everything in range.

Eh they are both blue background, both should be area effect nukes (not group scope). If not, /bug it.

The point of the post is about spell timers. By same spell, I mean they on the same timer. Not they have the exact same effects.
