Hello everybody,

the new changes have been released in the recent GlobalLab changes. With this patch, a lot of changes are coming for Awakening Ninjas. One of them is a huge change for a skill called Murderous Intent which changes its cooldown.

This skill is bread-and-butter for the class, especially for its movement. As the class name suggests, the ninja should be fast. With this change, the cooldown gets doubled. It will make the overall movement so slow that he will lose the ability to keep up with other classes in almost any situation.

I think a lot of players will agree with this, not just ninjas, but others as well.

This change will completely break the class into an unplayable state.

Keep the Murderous Intent cooldown on 3 sec. Do not modify the cooldown.

It is good to point out this:

In the dev talk about the changes, you mentioned:

"... stiffness effect every 3 seconds is too strong, so instead of increasing the cooldown, we have increased the specialization and defense reduction effects. ...".

Even with this said, you made the change and you increased the cooldown. It does not make much sense.

Based on that, it feels like an accidental change.

First reaction to reading the patch notes, I was very happy with everything until they doubled the CD on Murderous intent (MI). I thought "maybe its not that bad", and hopped on global labs to test it out. Wow does it feel bad. It makes all of the other changes feel not worth for the trade off of doubling the CD on MI.

Revert the doubling of cooldown and I think every ninja player will be very happy with the changes on global labs.

Awk Ninja isn't allowed to have a 3sec CC, but Valkyrie is.
