I know I'm too late for comment but I feel like you missed the mark here and made it just less fun to play. If you need to nerf it, Just simply have the shade abilities activate on the shade only. It makes more sense and is way less complicated. I also felt that sand savant behavior was wrong from day 1, let me explain in a Jerry Seinfeld sketch: Jerry: What's the deal Scourges?George: What do you mean Jerry? Searching in Jerry's kitchen for food and grabs a can of peanutsJerry: It's the Sand Savant trait George, it doesn't make any senseGeorge: jump on Jerry's couch and puts his feet up Sand Savant? What's wrong with that? I always run it on my necro, hell even Kramer uses it and he barely plays the class. Everyone loves Sand Savant!Jerry: That's just it! Everyone loves Sand Savant! It's TOO good! Bigger radius, always max shades AND reduced cooldown!George: So? Opens can and starts eating peanuts Whoa! Jerry these peanuts are really good!Jerry: So?! have you tried playing without it?!George: No, didn't like it. continues eating peanuts with astonishmentJerry: Of course you didn't. You need to place 3 shades down to get the full benefits, but when you do you can't place a new one if the mob moves out the way dramatically moves hand from one side to the other because it's on cooldown! If you place all three you can place one new one before they disappear but that's it!George: Where did you get these peanuts Jerry!?Jerry: They're just normal peanuts George, the same kind I always get. dismissively swipes he hand downward The Sand Savant trait is so good I never get to use the other grand master traits! It's always so big and if I need to move it, I do, because the cooldown is so low. All the benefits and none of the drawbacks.George: No no, no these are not normal peanuts Jerry. These are amazing, these are... a gift from God!Jerry plops down next to George with a heavy sighGeorge: So what would you differently?Jerry: Well I don't know.. I would probably make the reduced cooldown for the little shades and the longer cooldown for the big shade. ponders for a bit and grabs some peanuts or just make the cooldown the same for both, somewhere in the middle between longer and reduces cooldown. Eats some peanuts These ARE really good!
