    So, of all things, why change this? Was 2% leech so game-changing that it required a massive re-use?

    Personally, I'd prefer to recast it every 50 seconds or so and keep it the way it is than be locked out of using it for 7 minutes at a time but I from what I gather -- this is somehow not what it was intended for.

    If this is not the intended use, then what is? 2% leech is not powerful enough to warrant such a long re-use.

    Lame. I kind of saw this coming and knew I'd scoff at the reasoning from SoE as too why they thought 2% health back was too much. Was fun while it lasted.

    How about a 5 minute reuse?

    I'm glad I didn't farm it.

    You must have missed the memo which stated devs cannot introduce anything useful, cool, and worth spending the time to get into the game.

    I mean, just look at the rof class weapons.....

    It was basically permanent 2% of your DPS as Heal, that's over powered compared (especially when swarming added in) to other special stuff they've put in, its only downside was the 1 minute duration being so short.


    It will still be a strong item, just not as ridiculous.

    Wtf they are nerfing that??!! Seriously this game is becoming lame and boring. Does every item have to be perfectly balanced?? Can't there be a few fun items that are actually useful, maybe slightly overpowered a bit(not that this was). I'm getting about as close as you can get to quitting eq completely. All its been us nerf, nerf, nerf, enough already!!!!

    I hope they at least up the %on this thing.

    It was getting annoying clicking that thing all the time. It basically was a permanent buff except you had to make the hotkey easily accessible since you had to click it so much.

    They're making the buff last longer. Changing the cooldown of the 2% lifetap that was up 100% of the time isn't going to make the game lame and boring. Relax.

    Will still be good for raiding click before engage

    Dont nerf it to this ) its a great item but doesnt seem overpowered to me ( im a paladin ) i wish u would change it to 3 mins duration and dont mess with the recast.
