Just want to let you know guys.... the Grim focus got similar PVE buff treatment just like Velocious curse. Remember when you made the curse last longer but explosions were going to happen later then 3 seconds... and it was really good change to PVE because it opened up time slots for sorcs to squeeze in several more force pulses to get higher dps.... sort of a way to simplify sorc rotation...
Do you also remember how sorc pvp community lost their bannaners ? because it affected PVP burst potential and timing ? Although you said and probably believed that it was sort of a buff to sorcs. not really.... Somehow you pulled it off and managed to change the first explosion back to 3 seconds.... it was magic both pvp and pve community where happy.
Now back to nightblades. per many discussion and comments, many people agree that grim focus change is a good change for PVE. but it is only for PVE... in best case scenario nightblades with good rotation. can pull off 3 spectral bows per 1 grim focus cast... which would increase their over all dps...
For pvp this is not a good change... it is 100% nerf... sometimes i wonder if you have any one in your team that truly plays magblade .... in PVP magblades hold their spectral bow in every fight in order to line up the burst. We dont stand still and focus on our rotation just like in the dungeon or fight a predictable boss mechanics. while we are working on our light attacks... we get CCed .. we need to heal.. we need to dodge... block... and other things.. Magblades in PVP will never be able to take full advantage from this PVE Grim Focus buff... we are going to basically get 1 or best case scenario 2 spectral bows per grim focus.... any relatively good magblade would recast the grim focus after the first spectral bow in order to have the extra time to line up the next burst... in pvp magbalde is the most complex class to play. with this change.. you are making it more complex..
Suggestion:
if you are dead set on 5 light attacks... please make it such that after the second spectral bow the grim focus refreshes automatically. if not please revert to 4 light attacks and do not touch this skill until later on.
Thank you,
