Balance Update: official thread (stage 1)

[NotScias]

Another thing I forgot to say about Devotion/GCD nerf, this coupled with the ability to get rings/amus from another realms would encourage mages to stop being casters (because of slow cast and GCD) and turn to the Staff Mastery way with RoLs.
I think if you do something about Arcane Devotion, you should do something about Arcane Acceleration and Staff Mastery, to prevent too many mages to go to the machinegun-SM-bitch side...
