Well yes, but can't the CD's be both unique and effective?

Vengeance had to be nerfed because it was overpowered. And honestly, they should remove the spike effect and just buff a few skills instead.
Along with buffing Sentinel, we lost Bulwark though. We already had an answer to Sentiel's long CD by having another mitigation tool that effectively cut the CD in half if you alternated them. An alternative change could have involved tweaking instead of homogenizing and culling.
