: DD It is definetely noticable ESPECIALLY ON IB this GCD change and in a very demoralizing way. At least all 10 sec Oathbuffs should be 15 sec minimum now.
Sadly I think IB is dead, too many problems, ppl would cry too much if they fix everything cause "order bias!!!".
1,5 GCD means you give less AP with Told Ya So. It was already VERY hard to be as effective as a knight concerning AP support, now it will be impossible. So goodbye the only group support IB had.
IB also hit less during Watch and Learn so gives less AP than before.
The punt which was already not that good is now insuffisant in most cases. Timestamping now requires more time, and the distance is just not enough to secure a kill.
Damage wise it's the same, even before the change IB was suffering a lot from this, now it's simply ridiculous. But people kept saying "IB damage stronk!!" when I do much more damage with my chosen while still doing my tank job AND buffing everyone since it's passive and do not require to lose any GCD.
Can you imagine if IB were buffed to recover from all this ?
Longer punt, more dmg, longer buffs, more AP given by TYS and WaL... The destro tears would be too strong, I cannot see this happening.
Luckily, Hashut manifestation gave me the answer : Don't play IB anymore.
