Timers On Symbol spells. Any chance for a review?

[Nick_RC]

I love symbols of X Y Z. They rock. Any chance the devs can review the epik cool down on them?

Im not sure how they are overly different to spamming dancing ball/web/fear etc (other cc). Not too mention spamming of firewalls etc. Hardly say it would be overpowering and would add another element to the game. Especially if you have different ones up. Id be happy if you just eliminated the cooldown on different symbols. Ie have symb of fear diferent too stunning etc.

Im probably hoping for too much since a new mod was just dropped but is it possible to consider it for mod 9?

My cleric would be real happy!

P.S symbolf of flame is a nice dps additive to BB and gr glyph of warding on the frosties hehe.

This was what was mentioned about symbol spells from the Ask the Devs #6 segment:

Jerry: Oh, ok. Next question from Jason here, "Why are the Symbol spells cooldown timers linked, and why is there a cooldown timer so different from the standard?"

It's kind of one of those questions I've had as a cleric too. You cast Symbol of Persuasion and your Symbol of Pain or whatever also gets linked on a timer. Any thought about separating those out?

Eladrin: I think that's one we may not actually be able to answer right now because the quick and obvious truth would be because we hate them. But really, it was originally because of some sort of lingering spell effects limitation that I don't quite remember because I wasn't the person that did it. So I can't give a satisfactory answer to that right now without doing some research.

Tolero: It would have been a Zyrca question but she's not on the cast with us today.

I know its not much help, but it has at least been asked and somewhat responded to.

Ty sir for showing me this.

Maybe il have to bring this up again later(when the mod is nto so new) because i really dont see how its any different to ottos or other 'lingering' effect spells. It would be a nice addition to many casters/clerics arsenals.

Cheers.

Shhhh you're killing my ulterior motive!!! And you got to add an @ in place of the A for forum protocol

I'd like to see all the Symbol timers decrease for all classes to what they currently are on Sorcs.

Only noobs use Symbol of X

Symbol of Y is only used by exploiters.

Symbol of Z is EWBUR!!!
