Some SM abilities are too short in duration

[Azarael]

I think it is common consensus, but thus far we've avoided making propositions internally due to the risk that if we did decide to change something for any reason other than evening out extreme issues in the tier 2 meta, everyone would feel that their own classes should receive the same immediate attention, regardless of what we all well know about SM and BO viability.

I'd love to be proven wrong, but for the moment, I believe that's the prevailing thinking.

I dare say whatever you change will be met with criticism from somewhere. I'm interested in what the community will decide is fair for my poor SM. Keep up the good work.

Can whispering wind and crashing wave be moved down their respective mastery trees to the 5+1 position?

This might encourage a few more to play a really quite useless class in T2 (when compared to IB and KOTBS)

9+1 sounds solid cuz chosen and kotbs get their kd there too. 5+1 sounds really bad idea

[Azarael]

Ah, I totally missed that. 9+1 should be the destination.

[Bozzax]

Well, with the next cap increase, both Dirty Tricks and Encouraged Aim come into the picture for KotBS, so I guess the start of SM decline can be officially marked.

Yep Time to reroll if you are a SM
