I think one of the problems SE has with making ability's and adjusting them is that they look only at how they envision them, rather than how they are currently working with gear and combinations with other ability's and such. And with these 2 hours they probably only compared them to the originals without the added effects of anything else.

From what i gather with this 2 hour is that it's pretty much best used after Run Wild, or in the few situations where you your self will be in actual danger. So id guess it would be a safe bet to say people would be more ok with this 2 hour if it didn't share the recast with the original and worked on charmed pets? Tho it still isn't a very piratical 2 hour, and then the fact that it does go against the beastmaster story.

I guess they could have had a, "Hay, bst is all about the pet, we don't really have anything for the master them self's." train of thought. I can see that tho, them trying to get the masters to do more than effectively just stand by and watch.(from my experience watching bst's, that's pretty much all i ever see anyways.) If it gave the master them self's a stat boost also like Spirit Surge(tho it then would pretty much just be a copy of that but with a RR effect) then it could be more piratical as long as it also doesn't share the recast timer with the previous one.
