Since you are one yourself, could you give a rough explanation on why 600 ms was not fast enough? (eg. was it faster before? or slower but no noticeable difference after the 'improve'.)
After watching the Paladin video posted in this thread, I am quite sure Holy Hammer's cooldown was 20 secs, coupled with a maxed Combat Orders. As such, Paladins will not have to worry about the increase to 40 secs.
Sounds very familiar to what NexonKorea did to Shadowers, nerfing skills and then introducing shadow partner to counter balance the nerf. Not that it doesn't have net positive effects ... but overall I still think it was an unorthodox method.
The delay of the skill is 600ms, the old delay was weapon speed (810ms).
Though, the delay is the animation delay if I remember correctly, so the animation itself could finish before the actual attack, which would mean that the skill is still at weapon speed (what it seems like from the video).
Dusk Wrote:ACB is already ridiculously powerful for a mob skill, and 600 ms is BoT speed. The range isn't bad as far as Warrior skills go. I'm not sure what more you could ask for.
The thing is, if it actually is capped at 600ms, and the 600ms is indeed the skill cast time, not the animation time, it would mean that every weapon that is normal 6 or faster would have the same cast time with ACB, and I'm sure that anyone can see what's wrong with this.
The range... eh, it's 180 fixed, instead of weapon reach + 200 splash (beginning of KMST tweaks), it's adequate, yes, but I feel that it is kind of short for a skill that hits 6 monsters (Brave Slash has around the same range), 200-ish fixed would be more logical IMO, but it shouldn't really matter with Rush anyways.
