Eye for an eye

Haha, sorry, I didn't mean to come off as an ass, I was actually trying to help substantial your argument for people who thought you were just pulling numbers out of a hat. "Between 90% and 97%" doesn't sound terribly convincing, and since it's quite possible to determine the actually percent based on the attack speed of the monster, I figured I would make the numbers a little more clear.

Also, for the record, since I've been thinking about this some more, the probability of the debuff lasting for the full 40 seconds is actually only 4%, so I definitely wouldn't be counting on that. Still even with just 20 seconds of debuff, it's a beast of a skill.

No sweat - you didn´t. Didn´t made any math anyway. Just guessed some numbers that seemed to be about right. Would have guessed wrong though on the double proc. Thought it would be lower. Good to know tha actual numbers. Thx.

Wow, they took a really round about road to reach the same conclusion I did. Their way definitely demonstrates more about the Eye for an Eye, but all the information is embedded in the summation.

This is a great skill that even SMN and BLM should have.
It sounds meh at first but it's useful. I usually use it if Virus is on CD or if the tank pulls 3+ monsters.

On my SMN, I use this with a <tt> macro to cast it on the tank.
And I have yet to see the buff go entirely to waste, it almost always applied as far as I could see.

The only thing is the long cooldown you will have without the passive Arcanist trait that shortens it.

But that skills isn't a MUST-HAVE like Swiftcast, it's sure useful though
