Tri-bind

The problem isn't that SMN didn't deserve a nerf to their potency. It's that Tri-bind really wasn't all that powerful of a tool in all honesty to warrant a nerf. If the idea of Tri-bind being to powerful(Tri-Bind outside of swiftcast does have a cast time) Then sleep is also too powerful. That's not quite balance.

Yes SMN needed to be nerfed. Tri-Bind could have been very potent at 12s and needed a nerf, however sleep at 15 seconds is also extremely potent and stronger than bind and did not receive a nerf. That's the main issue here. I strongly believe SMN deserved their nerf, however I disagree with only nerfing Tri-bind and not touching on anything else after allowing casters to cast spells easier.

Tri-bind was a stronger tool in frontlines with a coordinated group where you have multiple caster Limit breaks going off. In 4v4 that won't happen.
