Psy skills not working right

Ok so since the last update (3rd cast nirvana and r9) I have noticed that my psy's Soul of Vengence and Soul of Silence does not last the full 10 mins it's supposed to. At first I thought I was just imagining it but after several times I started watching it more closely.

Instead of those 2 skills that are supposed to last 10 mins and have a 10 min cooldown they are only lasting 9 mins and 20 secs. Now I can understand if they include cast time in the 10 mins of usefulness so there might be 1 or 2 secs difference between cd and effect wearing off, but not 40 secs.

So has anyone else been having this problem or heard about it?


And to all of you out there that will say send a ticket I will, I'm just wanting to find out if it's really just me or if others have noticed this too before I do.

    dont know if this helps but..
    i have a psy on another server (not pwe's) and same thing is happening to me.. the buff disappears for about 20~40secs before the skill is ready to be used.
    Im guessing it might be intentional since its happening on other pw

    (not sure if im allowed to talk about other servers even if i didnt name it, oh well)

    The cooldown isn't what's wrong. It's the duration of the effect. It's cutting out up to 40 seconds early, ahead of the cd.

    so what its getting fixed in how devs think it should work

    most of the buff from mural have way long cooldown i hear especially for barb multipliyer

    1 min duration and 3 min cooldown so **** ur silly 40 sec

    40 sec is stilll much better then two and our duration sucks as its 1 min

    be happy ur last a long time

    How would you feel if your Beast King Inspiration had a 60 minute duration with a 65 minute cooldown? Or Strength of Titans that lasts 30 minutes and had a 35 minute cooldown?

    That's more or less what the OP is asking. Buffs that can be on the whole time for a character isn't like that anymore.

    Heaven forbid that one of the most powerful skills in the game should have any sort of weakness >.>;

    That aside, before you can convince devs something is truly amiss, you need to find stronger evidence that the problem isn't on your end; one person has reported that there are no problems with duration, so perhaps its just you?

    Check the obvious stuff; relog, reboot game/computer; repair game perhaps or even reinstall it if you are feeling ambitious.

    Whether its just you, or its you and others, obviously send a ticket either way.

    You're still not getting the point. This is a skill a psy can use to keep himself buffed all the time, similar to how you as a barb can keep BKI and SoT buffs on you all the time, or BMs with Aura of the Golden Bell, or Clerics with their Cleric buffs, or Assassins with their BP, or Venomancers and their Bramble and Summer Sprint, or Archers and their Blazing Arrow and Wings of Protection, or Seekers and their Adrenal Numbness, or Wizards and their Stone Barrier, or Mystics with their Resurrect and Invigorate and Verdant Blessing.


    If you still don't get the point of why the OP is wondering about his skill, then I'm sorry.

    I have noticed the same thing too, Its not a game breaker just a pain when you are trying to keep other chars alive by silencing massive magic AoEs.
    Would be nice if it was fixed soon though.

    As 1 of our new morie skills we are able to receive damage from a friendly target and that damage can trigger SoV and SoS
    Imagine how that can help tank and or catabarb in battle.
    There are old Warriors, and bold Warriors,
    but there are very few old bold Warriors. b:chuckle

    It's as Skai said the two skills last 10 mins and have 10 min cds on purpose. I have no problem with that. The devs did that because the skills are really OP so that people can spam cast them on others because that would be wrong and unbalance the game horribly.

    What I'd noticed is that the 10 min skill time is not lasting 10 mins, but the CD is.

    I'm glad other's have noticed this problem too, it's just a little bug at the moment, but that doesn't mean it can't grow worse. So once I figure out what's wrong with my video capture (keeps capturing my deskcapes video wallpaper) I'll get a ticket submitted, hopefully some of you other's that have had problems will submit tickets too so GMs can make sure the devs understand it needs to be fixed.
