Absolutely get Nihil. I got a deal on Nihil on Xegony for 15k, when it normally goes for around 25. I love it, and have never looked back. I later got Balance of discord. (this is our first 69 rune turn in, and the only one I have received.) Based on the lvl of content I am doing, I sometimes have them both memmed, in case Discord is resisted. The difference on being able to slow without popping malos first is significant. The difference between not being resisted umpteen million times on Turgurs and having to hide your head in shame is significant. Time to leave that old Kunark spell behind and move on up!

The recast time is very annoying if you are resisted, and the shortened span can also be annoying.
Some ways I deal with it.

If it is going to be a long fight, but I need it slowed fast, I will slow with Nihil, (now Discord), then malos and try turgurs before the fight time hits 1.5 min. If I can't stick tugurs, I reslow with Discord. Again, it seems now that I quite often, except in trivial content, have 2 slows memmed.

The other significant thing that I have changed, is adding audio triggers to remind me when slow is out at 1.5 minutes. My timing was so tied to turgurs that I needed the reminder. If you haven't read the posts on Audio triggers, and aren't using them, I would so reccomend you check that out.

Welcome back to Shaman life.
