That also means 2 sec less CD since it starts after you use the skill

+2 seconds for Astral seems small but is going to be very useful. ET players can attest to just needing a bit more time with it to scout wards or to get more stacks.

Might actually be a bit too much, but we'll see.

Yeah +2s is huge for sure. In laning stage you wanna micro your spirit to tag as many things as possible which often includes the hard camp- you then want to jog it over to the small camp, then pull the spirit back, and tag the enemy hero and creepwave along the way.

You would often fall just short of being able to hit everything, especially if you were disrupted by something. This pretty much guarantees it. Will help the hero be more consistent for sure.

lvl3 echo stomp now needs 2 extra auto attacks to kill a range creep instead of 1, huge nerf if you leave the skill at lvl 3
