Hrmm what exactly did these horrible sounding ns recipes do? NS on charge or just all procs? Could see meleers laughing their ass off if could run about with NS charges.

looks like on proc and on charge. That would just be stupid, caster would never win against a stealther again.

screwed over vamps and all archers, not as if there are not enough defences against archers at the moment.
They really need to introduce cure nearsight potions.

Reactive procs and weapon procs, reactive procs screw archers royally (like GSV does

) because if you shoot someone you just get nearsighted from the proc. The nearsight procs on weapons are equally stupid vs. casters so it's good that they're removing them although iirc there may have been charges too and it looks like they may be staying in? Could be wrong though.

It's still extremely good for meleers all round though with longer duration end regen charges, power drain procs, celerity procs etc. though.

Could just make NS more reasonable instead. Just dropping it to 1min duration would be fair enough.
