I don't think 2-hours can be dispelled, only if it provides an outside effect like Embrava would it be possible so far as I know, and not even that can be. The rest yes the SCH can be however I would like to add a SCH gets 3 whole minutes for Tabula Rasa and even more I think if they have a piece of AF2+2 with augment, as they all seem to have 2-hour ability duration extensions. I was simply saying that it is somewhat unbalanced as Embrava itself lasts so long and can not be removed where as most 2-hours are short and can be taken away by a number of enfeeblings with ease.

Oh okay, got yah. But since I'm a 99 Sch and I'm on the long end of the stick... YIPPEEE!

So honestly I don't think the concept behind the new RDM 2 hour is all so bad. But in it's current form it doesn't really feel as much as a two hour as something that should be on a a 15 minutes timer. From what D-H has share with us here on his testing I've taken a moment to come up with some idea's to make it more 2 hour worthy/compile what has been share to beef it up properly.

1: 2 hr duration: honestly 30 to 45 second of improved buff's just doesn't really cry epic 2 hour at all. Basically you rush to get out buffs as fast as possible before the duration end. Having it for such a short time just kind of seem's cheap and kill's the over all utility. Ideally this 2 hour would work better with a 5 to 10 minute duration. Where it could be reapply when necessary til the end of the fight or at least mid way threw the fight.

2: undispel~able: I'm referring the actually spell's and not the 2 hr ability it self. This has been suggested a few time's to add over all bonus to the 2 hour to make it more appealing.

3: Duration increase: I know originally this was just a mis translated but it was a very appealing idea bonus to the ability.

4: It would be idea if the ability double potency on anything it affected. This would bring a lot of demand for the ability in end game content.

Perhaps with these idea's in mind, content could be design so balance could be achieved. Any way just my thought's on thing's.

Exactly how I wanted, and still want, to see it.
