Essential Sutra is one of the wizards primary pvp skills and this allowed them to cast a lot faster than clerics and venos. Venos have their pets and clerics their heals, we got fast channeling skill. But now psychics have a skill that increases their channeling also and seekers have a skill that also reduces channeling, now that doesnt bother me, what bothers me is that for those classes -chnneling skill COSTS NOT CHI while wizards have to sacrifice 2 sparks :/ Please reduce chi cost for this skill or increase duration so that its worth the chi spent.

    Another problem is the cooldown of sutra which is 1 min. I mean compared to other classes cooldowns as a wiz you often have 2 drawbacks on your side long skill cooldown + high chi requirements. Furthermore some of the wiz skills need improvement because the way it is it is not fair compared to other classes

    The only problem with doing anything with Essential Sutra is how hard a wizard's skills can hit. Psychics are made to be fast damage dealers; however, they have very few AoE attacks. Seekers have that channeling reduction skill specifically because they are a ranged physical mage.... an odd combo, to say the least. Wizard skills can hit extremely hard, and to allow them to cast two 2 spark skills one after the other via Essential Sutra would be devastating.

    Yeah thats true but since the -channeling skill of seekers require no chi at all (and gives them some chi instead) they can use it with demon/sage spark making them hit extremly hard. On the other hand wiz cant use sutra and demon/sage spark at the same time unless they use potions or genie :(

    Seekers can cast Vortex immediately after using their channeling skill, so the while "allowing them to use a two spark skill after a channeling skill" thing is kind of invalid, especially when Vortex hits extremely hard. It'd be pretty scary if Wizards could get no channeling for very little cost like Seekers, but it's already bad enough with Seekers able to pull of combos in 6 seconds. Those skills get painful if you don't have good gear.

    eh i say lower the skill cost to 1 spark and keep the same cooldown.
    if they use it to unleash an ulti they will be out of chi if you survive lol

    Yeah I messed up that one but still im concerned about seekers and not psy because psy dont have very high damage per hit unless they use black voodo wich makes supper squishy anyway.
