Silent Casting AA

[Greencorneq]

I got Silent Casting mistakenly thinking that it would at the very least, get me single pulls with mobs where normally I could not. I tried it out in the Nest to get a single pull from the mobs that are very close together instead of the normal FD split. Not only did I not get a single they all came as per normal and wound up doing the FD split after all.

My question is this, is it intended for this at all, or is it somehow to help with the casting of a heavy aggro spell like perhaps Chaos Venom.

I am at a loss at the moment as to why I have wasted AA's on this, will do more testing in different situations but atm think that this is the most useless AA of the expansion.

Share your thoughts on this one with me, how have you used it? And 36 mins between uses? why...

This AA is intended as an aggro reducer when you cast on mobs. I do not have it and I'm unclear as to how it would work on, say, reverse aggro kiting.

But it probably will come in handy on raid mobs. With max crit AAs and dread pyre, I find it's a helluvalot easier to get summoned now than before. 3k crits on a single dot pisses mobs off.

This is probably more helpful to wizards et al with their new nukes. But again, if you read the description, it is to keep you from skyrocketing up a mob's hate list. It does not reduce the area aggro from mobs that are close to a mob you are casting on.

Is it just a 1 min duration?

The only thing i see a use for this is:
Saryryns Kiss., then...
Silent Casting, then....
Lifeburn
some Necros now get 13k+ lifeburns which could be bad for our health.

now where is our aa to lower refresh time on Lifeburn to 36 min.
