Longer duration and shorter loadtime for Pet Buff

[UsulDaNeriak]

i am very annoyed about the duration of our pet buff "Glyph of Darkness".

it is annoying to load this spell all 20 min and then even wait about a minute until its active.

longer duration please and "normal" load time.
btw, this long loadtime is also annoying for other spells and buffs: bullwark of calliav and mindwrack,........ comes to mind.

fix them all, please. i dont see the reason for these loadtimes any more.

PS: the same for the lower level versions please.

Would be nice to have a similar duration to the SHADOW KNIGHT pet buff. I mean, aren't we the masters of dark magic..not the guys with plate armor and swords and shit?

refresh timer is gay too...

i agree 100% on pet buffs... i want 'em to last 60 minutes at least

on the load times... i believe load time is on the same timer as recast time... this is why mindwrack, twitch, invun. spells, etc. take so long to load (i can't think of any spell with a fast load time, but long recast timer)

there's no reason not to make our pet buffs fast load, and fast recast as a result... but they might balk at something like mindwrack because they don't want us to be able to recast it so often... not that i wouldn't like to be able to recast mindwrack, etc. more often... but is a somewhat different argument than the one over pet buffs

yes, for some spells we even have to be careful about the ability to exploit.
refresh timer / recast time and load time is obviously linked. by very good reasons sometimes. i didnt take that into account.

but for pet buff i dont see any issue.

100% agree.

Pet Rune we could chain, that would give us new pet tanking power.

Mind Wrack.. they are trying to limit chaining by a single Nec.. I can accept that.

But.. pet buff? So what if we cast it 10 times a minute.

I agree here. But I would like a more overarching item to encompass all pet related issues. We can consolidate later tho, this is a great way for feedback! This is one of the more anoying pet issues to be damn sure.

This is a very good issue,the recast time on pet buffs is annoying and unnecessary.

[Mallakith]

recast time i wouldnt care about if it lasted an hour tbh. Its not so much the fact I have to wait a minute to cast it (I tend to keep it memmed atm anyway due to the pansy ass duration) but the fact its the shortest pet buff there is.

Man I hope they do this, the current 'make a pet' ritual just sucks because of the refresh timer on this spell alone, and you almost have to keep it memmed while kiting if you want to keep your pet hasted without too much of a hassle (which is a hassle in itself).

I'm considering buying some ornate pants because of the hassle of this spell. Throwing around that much plat shouldn't be more desirable than using the upgraded version of the spell.
