It’s a serious question. ATM balancing is very weird to me.

For instance lately we saw Shattered Strength going from 1 might 5sec to 3 mights 10sec and then 1 might 10sec. That means this trait has been improved by a factor of 6 and then nerfed by a factor of 3.

I think you should consider smaller changes and have a small team of experienced players that would or would not approve new balance because huge changes like this are obviously too much.

Also cooldowns are very often multiple of 5. That seems a bit … rough.
