Though, with the duration buffs to the other cards, we don't have to be as pinpoint accurate with when we want to use them any longer, meaning that spreading a Spear is now less of a bad idea so we could hold onto it to use BEFORE we fire off big healing cooldowns...
Actually it was never designed that way. The "debuff" was just mistranslated in a development build.
