Possible Ancient Magic Fix stated in german 1.19 patch notes!

[Yumi_Hibiki]

hey everyone i know how dissapointing it was getting this lackluster and unuseabe set of "strongest spells" since i got them a while ago myself

but rejoice because there is a tiny but crucial extra bit of information in the german patch notes^~^

Der Schaden wird dem Gegner nun direkt und ohne zeitliche Verzögerung zugefügt.
Die Reaktivierungszeit wurde von 10 auf 90 Sekunden verlängert.
Dieselbe Reaktivierungszeit gilt für alle 6 Zauber

translates to:

The damage will be dealt to the enemy directly now without delay.
the recast time got raised from 10 to 90 seconds.
all 6 spells share the same recast time.

higher recast, new damage calculations and new stats. now we only need spiced animations animations ideally and we have something like real ancient magic!^~^

Hope so, they are a joke as is.

[Coglin]

at a 90 sec recast it will be a joke too. The THM ability similar to that is a complete waste.

I foresee more changes coming to the ancient spells. Every patch, so far, every class get more abilities becoming class exclusive and/or buffed up. I do like the direction most of them are going. To me, it is only a matter of time until the ancient spells become awesome, maybe or maybe not this patch though.
