Relentless Focus Changed to 60 Seconds. Why Even Have a Timer?

I missed the change whenever it happened, but I just now noticed that Relentless Focus has a 60 second duration. If it's going to be that high, why not simply remove the timer? If the skill is slotted, then every 5 light or heavy attacks gives you the Scourge shot, and you can obviously only activate it when you are on the bar where it is slotted.

Relentless Focus
  • Converts into a Stamina ability and deals Disease Damage. Increases duration.
  • Cost: 2295 Stamina, Duration: [54 / 56 / 58 / 60] seconds.
  • Focus your senses for [54 / 56 / 58 / 60] seconds, reducing your damage taken by 2% with every Light or Heavy Attack, up to 5 times. While active, hitting an enemy with 5 Light or Heavy Attacks converts this ability into Assassin's Scourge, allowing you

    If you'll remove duration, it will won't proc of backbar light attacks. Relentless focus looks like fine right now imo.

    Yeah, it is an applied buff, I wouldn't want to have to double slot it. The timer is fine, they changed it because of sustain issues that nightblades were having when the introduced the added cost to actually cast assassin's scourge. So the ability is fine as is.

    The duration is fine and the skill is in a decent place. Although at this point it should probably have no cost.

    Ah, I see what you're saying. They can't make it work on swap unless it first appears as a buff. No timer means no buff.

    Make it refresh the timer each time the bow is shot, voila.

    The time difference between mag and stam morphs is pretty arbitrary. Why are they different?

    Obviously stam is weaker on the dmg and sustain side, so it needs to have more spammables during rotation to make up for it :sarcasm:
