Talisman of the Panther
1950 mana
42sec duration
whatever cast time (less than 10 seconds)
whatever refresh time (less than 30 seconds)
That's what I'd like to see. That gives us a reasonable 1 minute focussed duration.
With a horrid 28 second base duration, 42 secs extended, there is just too much wrong here... at an average of 7 chances to proc, an unlucky RNG swing means a 1 in 7 chance a proc didn't go off...that's about 15% less effective... made worse if the melee isn't on the mob for a tic, due to placement, spell-casting, or just not paying attention... another 15% drop...and if someone was out of range, there's a huge chunk gone...
Bad idea to have a buff that procs once a tic only last 7 tics fully extended.
The best solution is not either/or, but best-of.
