Nerfing rune of protections duration

[Darkir]

They are discussing doing this here, it's on the beta now. I think this is of particular interest to def/corr/troller. Let them know what you think of this here:

From the head of the thread:

 Sorcery > Rune of Protection

• Duration reduced from 90s to 60s to match the other Origin pool tier 5 powers
• This power now grants damage resistance even if you use it whilst mezzed (previously only the mez resistance component would be granted)

Okay, with this logic... I could argue, how about they change the other powers to last 1.30 instead of nerfing this to 60 then ? 

That way no ones builds are damaged that use rune, and others benefit from the change. 

Or reduce the cooldown...

At least they did not make Unrelenting the comparison...it has a 30s duration and a 600s recharge.

I’ve not looked at what relenting does. But if they’re going to make all the durations and cooldown the same they need to make he effects similar. And at that point why even have different options 🤷🏽‍♂️

 

Just a pointless change to make it look like they’re doing somthing who knows.

I'd be thrilled if Unrelenting was as available as often as Rune of Protection (current or planned)... as long as the effects were untouched. I find Unrelenting to be the sort of click-buff that I use as often as possible on my melee/PBAoE characters that take it. The only reason NOT to use it as often as possible is if holding it in reserve for the healing. I suppose from a game balance perspective, it shouldn't be better than a similar primary/secondary Dull Pain (or similar) power.

 

Frankly: Unrelenting is a reasonably powerful utility power gated behind some really unfortunate necessary power pool choices (Pacify and Intimidate). It requires having high Global +Recharge to make best use of right now.
