Please consider halving the cool down for Shockwave

[Brianmj]

Fluid Aura has a 150 damage potency with the additional effect of bind and is on a 30 second cool down.While in obey Shockwave has a 90 damage potency with the additional effect of Garuda casting it whenever she feels like it. It's on a 90 second cool down. It's the odd counterpart to Ifrit's Crimson Cyclone and Titan's Landslide, both of which have 40 second cool downs and have immediate benefit to the caster; conversely Garuda has to fly over and be in melee range in order to use Shockwave, so theres a delay. Besides the long cool down the ability, like Titan and Ifrit's stuns, has been relegated to PVP only or non-group use. Tanks do not like it when mobs are flung out of their grasp, nor do groups like it when the stun resistance with non-trash mobs is messed with. So our pets are placed on obey and these abilities are hardly ever used. But when placed on sic or in PVP, a shorter cool down would be greatly appreciated. Please consider a 45 second cool down for Shockwave.

as much as I dont like shooting down buff requests for SMNs, there isnt really a need for it. By the way if your garuda is using it whenever put her on Obey, you need to do so anyway to max dps.

Yes it is handy but WHMs have a genuine use for it at times due the aggro they produce when first starting out, SMNs dont really have that problem and if you do pulled aggro on a mob that can be bound tri disaster and back off.

Agreed, there is no real need for it - the basis for the suggestion was out of convenience. When compared to our other Egi's stuns, nothing about Shockwave "screams" a minute and a half cool down. It just seems excessive. The only place a shorter cool down would be of value is in PvP; shockwave is invariably a dps loss, but dps isn't always king pvp. But anyways, thank you for your reply.

Would be nice if it was AoE too. At the moment Garuda-Egi nothing more than flat stat upgrade to it's ACN predecessor.
