First of all, the recast on Wishka sucks. But to be fair:
Protection of Wishka is 12/18/25 corruption resist, and has a 5-minute recast time.
stacks with
Shared Purity is 10/15/20 corruption resist, and has the standard recast time.

So it doesn't provide only 5 more resists, it provides 25 more.

The pet spell would be to place limits on how quickly you could get a pet up again. It could be changed by eliminating the recast and extending the cast time, but then you would have less time when you could be casting other spells. Personally I would prefer a longer recast and a shorter cast time. 35s recast, 1s cast would be preferable and still maintain the same balance aspect.

Same argument for Second Life, but in that case they designed the spell properly to start with (long recast, short cast).

Tugela, there's no reason why it should take that much total time no matter the cast/recast balance. You act like there's some grand reason why a 40 dps speedbump has to take half a minute to produce.

You are missing the point Waring. The recast times are there for balance reasons, and part of the total recast time package which includes both cast and recast times. They may be open to removing the recast times, but they will want to keep the total cycle time more or less the same. That means that if they grant your request the cast time of those spells will increase. Or (as happened with the malos line) they will massively bump up the mana cost.

Remember that when you ask for a change like this you get the whole package, both the positive and the negative. IMO the negative that will come with the positive you are asking for is far worse than the current situation.

You guys need to think about the implications of the things you are requesting.

[Kianor]

Tugela, I understand what you're saying about balancing implications, but this is hardly a life and death thing, removing the pet recast is hardly going to be game changing, just getting rid of one of those irritations.
