But Inq does produce a different number that pops up, Hand of Light, it makes HoL 30% bigger or more in some cases.
You can add complexity and things like that with other spells if you think ret is dull, someone has yet to come up with a reason to WHY everything has to be a meaningful desision, back when Inq was 30s you'd often refresh early because X was gonna happen. You still do but far less because ppl crowd that it was annoying to keep up with a 30sec duration. Now that you got your way with a longer duration you're bitching because it doesn't give you a sense of choice. Turn it back down to a 30s duration? Would that give you a better sensation of "yes I did something!" Then let me ask, why not keep Inq and ADD a new ability that fills your need to feel special when you hit it.
Again, I understand that Inq doesn't feel like fun. Lots of things aren't fun in this game, does that mean all those things are bad?
