Strongwall timer reduced based on channeling

Recommended Posts

Strongwall takes an absurd amount of time to cast per tile and has no need for channeling which often gets it left to a dedicated strongwall alt to do. Having the cast time reduced by channeling (or some other priest based skill like the overall religion skill) down to something like 60 seconds at 100 would be nice.

It's 3 minutes of complete non-interactivity where you look outside of the window of the game you're actually "playing".

It should at least be considered to shorten strongwall timer in PvE. There is a legitimate reason for the timer in PvP. The 3 minutes allow a team of miners to reopen a collapsed tile to be reopened before it can be reinforced (to my knowledge, the shaker orb cannot be used to reinforce, I may be wrong).

can reinforce it with a beam in a few seconds even in pvp with people mining the tile

This is probably my favorite suggestion of the last 5 years.

You are right of course. Still the 3 minutes make sense as they allow those defending against the collapse to step in, as far as I understood. The cast would fail then because the tile were not empty, if I am not wrong. So the strongwall delay might make sense in PvP. In PvE, it is just useless and a pain, thus +1, at least for a seriously cut cast time, e.g. like every enchant or so.

I could see it scale down in time based on Channeling skill. Makes sense.

+1 Waiting on strong walling and meditating are generally my afk moments. The meditation time makes sense but yes I agree that strong walling should be influenced by skill levels.

+1 as long as there's limits on PvP servers when enemies are in local/outside friendly influence.

it is absurd how long it takes. There is no reason for it to be that long for what it is.
