The development team knows how to balance content (albeit sometimes a little late), I somehow really doubt cutting 5 seconds off Jugulate for Ninjas would create a scenario for people to exclude others as it wouldn't create a substantial change. It's a minor change, sure, but it's still leagues ahead how the current system is setup where it's always flat stat bonuses. Been playing for 1.5 years now and I can't imagine getting new gear would be anything special in one or year, instead of thinking "What interesting bonuses does this set piece have?", I have the mentality of "Does it look cool?", that's all there is to look forward to really other than pushing out higher numbers.
