You ask for feedback, I give it, you ask for us to play test on the PTR and give feedback, I give it. Let the Arcane 2-piece set bonus stay up for 30 sec. It is entirely a QOL change, since I already have the habit of spamming AE to artificially keep it up in the 20 second window, just go 30 sec, don’t make it such a punishment to play arcane. Please.

While we are at it, Arcane Artillery (the amazing arcane missile proc that lets you fire at 150% extra damage) should automatically benefit from the clear casting aura.
NOTHING is more frustrating than getting that proc, juggling the spell damage and fishing for a clearcasting proc to fire off your artillery, then your spell damage falls off, or worse, your artillery buff falls off and then you get a clearcasting proc.
Who in the right mind designed such a clunky 4-piece? You know you’re an arcane mage, when every set we’ve gotten has some convoluted mechanics to make use of your tier bonuses.

Seriously, it’s such a pain. Increasing the duration of the buff is the least they could do. But the real solution is to buff the base rate of Clearcasting so that you never run the risk of not getting one for more than 30 seconds. Which is more than just a “risk” in AoE, it’s the reality!
