KOTBS Aura - turning off aura shouldnt trigger cooldown

4,5 second cooldown on turning of kotbs (or chosen) aura isnt needed anymore due to new mechanic. IMHO.

its quite a pain when you have different auras for pve/pvp and do pve while waiting for sc to pop.

You have a 2 minutes to change them on sc pop.
I don't see any problem here.

2 minutes? rather 30 seconds and its 9 seconds per buff cause aplying is another 4.5 seconds ...

so according to your argument: ANY buff should get a 4.5 second cooldown on aplying and removing?

what harm does it to remove the cooldown on removing the buff?

the whole cooldown system was introduced cause of the old aura mechanic and switching with it being active for another few seconds. this mechanic changed. the cooldown makes no sense anymore.

you could change them easyli duting fighting mages or meleedps.
>2 minutes? rather 30 seconds and its 9 seconds per buff cause aplying is another 4.5 seconds ...
After sc pop you have 2 minutes to rebuff youself, and after that join the sc.

that is no argument. or do you really agree ANY buff should get a 4.5 seconds cooldown on aplying and removing?

Poor KotBS/Chosen, their mechanic is so difficult to master.

Maybe OP should reroll to SM/BO. Most OP tanks.

Still Tiggo's idea is reasonable. Using different auras depending on situation, whether you wanted to annoy BWs AMs with backlash dmg or decrease incoming healings on melee dpses, was something that a lot of chosens used to do in the old aura system (lingering auras). Now, since turning off an aura makes you wait 5 seconds so that you can turn on some other and you stay with only two auras on for that time, it poses some risk to you and your team, especially during some hectic fights. The good thing is that turning off an aura does not dismount you, which allows to make up a plan before engaging the fight but still... once the fight starts every chosen would rather stay on the 3 he has atm and do NOT turn anything off until the end. This really makes the class a little bit dull.
I always considered that a good chosen is the chosen who adjust his buffs/debuffs in order to benefit friendly team as much as possible. Now we have 6/7 auras available and only 3 remain on, all the rest is just a waste of space.
Sorry for making it that long :)

Triggering off auras should get a GCD instead of the 4.5 second cooldown as it's unnecessary. Would help out in fights for sure. ;)
