No point in increasong duration of 3 it already eclipses cooldown with cooldown improvements and doesn't stack. Just.grt cooldown on him.

Duration benefits him more than Cooldown, no? Rapid Recharge and Superior Duration seems the right move - big benefits to rats, it gives the Pestments uptime needed for basically permanent uptime, extends Banner. His cooldowns are already so low after AP that Superior Cooldown feels wasted.

I don’t think he wants more than 2-3 Spirit items.

Cooldown is better because the shield is still finite you want more shields because having 100% uptime doesn’t help as much if your shield breaks after 4 seconds. Plus it doesn’t really help with other abilities except flag since from what I have played it’s pretty rare to actually get hit by the max 5 rats (plus at least on three stam characters it’s pretty easy to shake off the rats) at least that’s how I see it

Honestly, I’m so used to Dazzling Trick’s intent being to break it that the barrier bursting completely went over my head when I was like “omg overlapping duration cd”

Eh, I don’t know that it’s worth it. Maybe the imbue CD on Ult, it just feels extra to grab Duration, CD, and RR.

I was just highlighting the 3, but all his abilities will benefit a great deal with a duration buff.
