[IB] Watch An' Learn duration increase to 20s

Post#1 » Mon Jul 22, 2019 9:36 am

Background

IB is increasingly getting weaker due to having physical only damage type, while the armor values of new items are increasing nonstop. Because of that, IB needs weaponskill stat more than ever to balance this with a bit higher armor penetration. However, new top tier gear has less weaponskill of all sets available up to date, which is very awkward, considering the importance of this stat for the class. "Watch An' Learn" skill provides a self weaponskill buff, but it has only 10s duration for some reason, while all other buffs have 20s. It even uses more grudge (15), than similar default class skills and on pair only with the grudge usage of traited skills.

Solution

Watch An' Learn duration should be increased to 20s, just like other self buffs of the class.
It's grudge cost should be decreased to 10 (from 15), to be on pair with the rest of the non-traited self buffs of the class.

With an increased period of uptime, the IB would have more options to compensate for the increased armor values of its opponents and also have the options to use a few more skills while the weaponskill buff is up.
