No. It’s problem wasn’t damage in the first place.

I guess people use focus in pve dungeons, but w/e.

Its typical anet. In qurater year they can only do minor CD or dmg increases. An actual aftercast reduction takes 1-3 years, CDIs and 99x meetings if a single mothered new player from alfacentaura might find it too confusing.

Jokes aside

Pve) is used for vuln, but the huge aftercast makes it almost a dps loss. Sux for a burst weapon
Wve) clunky = misses everytime = 0 value
Pvp) clunky = misses everytime = 0 value

Blind, block, dodge = player mechanics
Obstructed, sidesteped, walkthrough, missed, didnt bounced, cast and aftercast = anti necro exclusive game engine mechanics

NO! The silly buff, along with buff for Wells, was something Anet did thinking it would appease us for kittening Reaper. Both buffs are useless imo and you never see Focus being used.

4 misses too often at range….unlike gs 2 on mesmer and regen is worthless.

5 is so slow that you might intrupt it yourself.

Never touch anywhere
