60 second minimum with synergies, would need that long at least for melee pvp. Having shout wear off in the middle of a heated duel would destroy conc barbs. But I’ll take the extra ED% anyday. :rofl:

It wearing off at inappropriate times and getting you clapped is a feature not a bug.
That’s what balances the higher ED :wink:

If that’s the trade off, I would rather it not change then. :person_shrugging:

Conc barbs need more love, not less.

Best I can do.

That would be way too OP. Would turn conc into smite.

Too hot, too cold. Are you my wife?

It’s not a matter of “too hot/too cold”. I just want balance, and right now conc barbs are at a disadvantage, especially vs jab/fury.
